God always honor's the humble people

 

Dear friend, I greet you in the name of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

“Though the LORD is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly.“ God is an example of humbleness. 

He wants us to have a humble heart. Though He doesn’t have to care about us, He looks at us to show us His kindness. 

That is why He came into the world, leaving Heaven for our sake. We read in Matthew 8:20, “Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.

"” He chose humility. We read in Philippians 2:6-8, “Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death-- even death on a cross!”

We see how much Jesus humbled Himself. He did not just come into the world but He came in the lowliest form as a baby and not a king. He was born in a stable and He did not have a place to rest His head.

He did not come as one who would have authority over people. He was rather criticized and shunned by people.

The most humbling moment was at the cross where He chose to be despised for our sake. 

He was obedient even to the point of death. Because He humbled Himself to such an extent God lifted Him up higher than all creation. 

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name (Philippians 2:9).

My precious child, just as our precious Lord Jesus, in your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5).

We too must humble ourselves before the Lord. For we read in Luke 14:11, “For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” 

Mary the mother of Jesus said, “I humble myself before the Lord to receive Jesus in my womb.” God honored her because of her humility. Elizabeth greets her as she is the mother of our Lord.

She was honored by all the womenfolk. She was considered as the ‘Blessed’ one. 

Let us similarly humble ourselves before the Lord and also before men. Then we will be exalted to great heights.

Let us pray and ask God to receive this humility in our lives too.
