What is humility?
This world teaches us to look cool, crave the spotlight, prove ourselves, get ahead, and outshine others—but the Bible teaches us quite the opposite. It calls us to humility. It points us to Jesus—the One who humbled Himself even to the point of death.
Humility is kneeling before the Lord rather than standing tall before the world.
Humility is lifting others higher than we lift ourselves.
Humility is listening more than we speak and putting the needs of others first.
Humility is seeing others through God’s eyes, not through the lens of judgment and comparison.
Humility is laying down our pride and taking up the heart of a servant.
Humility is seeking God’s approval above the approval of the world.
Humility is stepping aside so that God’s presence is seen far more clearly than our own.
Humility is not weakness—it is the strength of God’s power working in us and through us. It is the character of Jesus Christ being formed in us.
“And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Matthew 23:12 (NKJV)
“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.” Philippians 2:3 (NKJV)
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” James 4:10 (NKJV)
