Ultimate Humility

Wendy Palmer shared an important insight on humility. She said something like this:

Humility involves knowing who you really are before God.

If we have relationship with God through His Son, and understand God’s love for us, along with His plans and purposes for us, that should help us step away from self-absorption and self-protection and really begin to put others first. That’s what Moses did when he prayed for Miriam’s healing, even after Miriam had affronted her little brother (Num. 12).

Marina Ochman e-mailed about Philippians 2.5-8. This passage describes the ultimate demonstration of humility, that of Jesus, and calls us to become conformed to it:

...being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death -- even death on a cross! (NIV)
