1 Peter 5:5 | NLT “…And all of you, serve each other in humility, for “God sets himself against the proud, but he shows favour to the humble.”
If everyone knew how to live a happier and more fulfilling life, I bet they’d go for it. Well, it’s one thing to know what to do, it’s another thing to be able to do it. Today, we see a key to enjoying God’s favour – Humility. It takes humility to tap into God’s favour, kindness, and overall grace.
I’ve always pondered however, why everyone doesn’t strive to change from being proud to becoming humble, so that they can enjoy the abundant favours of God in their lives, since this key is now obvious.
The reason is simple. We cannot obey the instructions of God by the flesh; by our mere will power. Jesus said, ‘the words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.’ So, it would take the Holy Spirit to help us obey God’s word; to walk in humility. Ask Him to help you!
