Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. — Proverbs 18:12 KJV
Before destruction the heart of man is haughty;
And before honor goeth humility. — Proverbs 18:12 ASV
Reflection
Humility opens our hearts to receive God’s wisdom and grace. It acknowledges our limitations and our need for divine intervention in our lives. Humility isn’t about thinking less of ourselves but rather thinking of ourselves less. It is recognizing our dependence on God and being willing to serve others.
As Christians, we are called to follow in Jesus’ footsteps. Embracing humility means seeking God’s will in all things, acknowledging our need for His guidance, and serving others selflessly. In doing so, we align ourselves with God’s purpose, and He will lift us up in due time.
My Prayer
Father, I ask that You mold my character to reflect Christ’s humility. When pride tempts me, remind me of Your Word and steer my heart back to You. Let me find strength in admitting my weaknesses and honor in my humility.
Guide me, Lord, to live a life that brings glory to Your name. I pray that my actions and thoughts be pleasing to You. Thank You for Your endless mercy and for teaching me the way of humility. I trust in Your promise that as I humble myself before You, You will lift me up in due time.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
