Humility
So many times this past week I have started this blog and stopped, why? I can blame it on the fact that I was tired and such, but is that really an excuse? I know I have neglected a lot in my life. Just have been caught up in life and not aware what has been happening around me and to me. Well I was listening to the Radio and well it was talking about having humility. How many of us can even say we are humble?
In today's society we see that we are to get what we can out of it. Take the praise for everything you can. After all isn't it all about us? Well maybe for you but not for me. I know I am no better than the average joe. I want all the credit as much as everyone else. I would not say I am humble at all. so often I think it is about me and no one else; I forget that there are billions of other people out there beside myself. After all we are , ourselves, number one in this world. We need Self-esteem right? Wrong! We need Self-worth and humility.
Have you ever come across a person who was totally humble? And not one of those who says they are not good at anything and have a poor slef image. That does not count. So what is Humility? well the Humble I am talkign about meaning the following: "Marked by meekness or modesty in behavior, attitude, or spirit; not arrogant or prideful." Seens Pride is the root of all evil, so we are talkind about meekness; not weakness. After all do the prideful and arrogant people have many friends? I mean true friends? Well I highly doubt it. Personally if there is a person who is so full of themselves I can't stand them. Like I am going to want to hang around a person who makes me feel inferior.
Well there is a Bible verse that talks about the meak. It is in Matthew 5:5 "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth"(NIV) Wow the earth! But HOW!? Well lets look at this idea of meekness. No one ever want to be called meek. Why do we associate that would with weak? Especially when they will inherit the earth? That is a huge reward and I am sure that is just one of the many rewards they will experience. Christ was meek and very powerful. After all he isn't commanding all of us to bow down this very instant. Though there will be a day when the whole world will know of his glory. And what a day that will be! Well this meekness is actually towards Christians I believe. It is to be totally humble and give everything up to God; to allow him full and complete control of our lives. It is being submissive. Yes the "S" word that the world hates to hear. God is my master and I will be humbled now or later. I choose now, and will be willing to do his will. I want to follow him and be meek.
Meek also states that we have patience, not a temper. Those who can control their temper and be patient in return gain a lot. Those who humble themselves before God and become meek have a certain power about them. After all you have God on your side. I know it is learned, and practiced. It takes a long time to learn and perfect. But I know one day I will have it all together. And until that day I will try my best to allow God to have all the glory. After all who am I really living for? Me and the world? Or God and eternal life?
