Humble Yourself (Pt. I)

Please do not think of yourself more highly than you ought to think. It is actually a commandment from God in the book of Romans. The Bible teaches us that the soul of one person is worth more than all of the treasure on earth. Instead of making us proud, this should humble us. To think that the almighty God who is eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient could love us to the point of considering us more valuable to Him than the whole planet, demands some serious humility. Yes, humility, not arrogance and pride. The Bible teaches us that "All have sinned and come of the glory of God." If we come short of the glory of God, then let us humble ourselves before God. He deserves no less. Our greatest example is Jesus Christ. We owe Him our lives. We owe Him our humility. We are indebted to Him. He has been gracious unto us. Let us humble ourselves before Him. "Humble yourselves before God, and He will exalt you in due time."
