“Nothing sets a Christian so much out of the devil’s reach than humility.” Jonathan Edwards It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble.” Andrew Murray It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. “You can have no greater sign of confirmed pride than when you think you are humble enough.” William Law Modest humility is beauty’s crown.” Saint Augustine The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. “Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being little. “They that know God will be humble, and they that know themselves, cannot be proud.” John Flavel “A proud man is always looking down on things and people and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.” C. Without it there can be no self-knowledge, no repentance, no faith and no salvation.” Aiden Wilson Tozer “For the Christian, humility is absolutely indispensable. “A great man is always willing to be little.” “True humility is not thinking less of yourself it is thinking of yourself less.” ― C.S. “The only humility that is really ours is not that which we try to show before God in prayer, but that which we carry with us in our daily conduct.” Andrew Murray How often the experience, growth, and progress of a Christian become such precious matters to him that he loses his lowliness.” Watchman Nee “Man is never sufficiently touched and affected by the awareness of his lowly state until he has compared himself with God’s majesty.” John Calvin With true humility you are going to listen to the Lord and serve the Lord without being puffed up and conceited. He wants to use people who are going to boast in Him and not themselves. God wants to use men and women who are going to give Him all the glory. It is disgusting! You see nothing about God and you see nothing humble about that. Look at these Christian bookstores that have books by professing Christians that have a title like “how to look like me” and “how to be successful like me.” God needs more humble men and women in this wicked generation. Through different situations it is awesome to see God bringing out the fruits of meekness from my life. God is working in me to make me more humble. Even as a Christian my flesh does not want to be humble. He had to humble Himself, but yet we don’t want to humble ourselves. Without humility you will end up going into the wrong door instead of the door that God has placed for you. I know because there was a time when pride almost caused me to miss out on one of God’s blessings and end up in ruin.
