Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED LIFE IS MARKED BY HUMILITY
Reading: Romans 12:16b, c
Romans 12:16
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
There are people who see themselves as always right. To them, nothing is possible without them. These are conceited in their eyes with high mindedness. And hardly do they reach the peak of their life.
Humility exalts. Do not confuse humility with lowliness. Everyone can be proud at a time as natural to man, but your ability to give a listening ear, not just to people of same level or higher, but to the lowly determines your humility.
Be humble, dear friend. Greatness is not found in how others are able to serve you, how people bow to you as the world depicts; greatness is found in how you are able to serve those around you in love irrespective of who they are. It takes humility to be a leader who serves. Selah.
Let's Pray:
Almighty Father, be glorified. Lord, create in me a clean heart full of humility; for You give grace to the humble. Amen.
