The Bible calls us to be completely humble before God and in that humility to serve others. But that does not mean we cannot stand confidently for righteousness and truth! Let us not use humility as a cover for our fear.
One of the categories of sin in 1 John 3:16 is "the boastful pride of life." It is easier than we think to be guilty of pride. Humility is an absolute necessity for salvation. May we humble ourselves before God, so that He may exalt us.
Happy are those that mourn? If your right eye makes you sin, pluck it out? Love your enemies? Don't store up treasures on earth? Don't worry about tomorrow? The way of the kingdom of God is not easy but it leads to life. Few find that way. Have you?
