WHAT CATCHES THE EYE AND HEART OF GOD? Part Two-Humility THE PROMISES OF GOD FOR THE HUMBLE: Proverbs 22:4 “True humility and fear of the Lord leads to riches, honor and a long life.” Proverbs 11:2 “Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Proverbs 15:33 “Humility precedes honor.” James 4:10 “Get on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet.” James 4:6 “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Psalm 18:27 “God rescues the humble” 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.” Psalm 25:9 “He leads the humble in doing right.” Isaiah 29:19 “The humble will be filled with fresh joy from the Lord.” Isaiah 66:2 “I will bless those who have humble and contrite hearts.” TEN THINGS THE HUMBLE DO: 1. Accept Insults with Grace “You have heard the law that says the punishment must match the injury: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. If you are sued in court and your shirt is taken from you, give your coat, too.” Matthew 5:38-40 2. See the Flaws of Others with Silence “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? 4 How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.” Matthew 7:3-5 3. Thank Others for Their Success 4. Give Up the Need to Be Right Philippians 2:3 “Don’t try to impress” 5. Learn From Everyone “Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.” Philippians 2:3 6. Pray Frequently Throughout The Day 7. Quickly Admit When They’re Wrong “People who conceal their sins will not prosper” Proverbs 28:13 8. Let Others Go First Guests at a dinner Party--Luke 14:7-11 9. Boast in the Lord “If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:31 10. Submit Their Whole Life to God Philippians 2:3-8 “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” Matthew 26:39 “Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11
