 'By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life'
(Proverbs 22:4).

What does it mean to have humility? True humility is considered a virtue and a cheerful submission to the will of God, caused by  selflessness. In our present society we see entitlement and over-
confidence being celebrated, which is a total focus on self. Therefore, you find people are more competitive and even obsessed with their appearance, amongst other things. One should realise that humility is not about pleasing other people or putting yourself down, but it's about becoming a more harmonised individual. It's not that you don't  think of yourself, but that you do it less. When we fear the Lord and his goodness, we will walk humbly before Him, and our attitude and behaviour towards others  will reflect the will of God,  flowing from his grace. God will reward us with spiritual riches, honour towards Himself and others and everlasting life in the world to come. Christ set the example of humility when he humbled Himself to death upon the Cross for us. Humility lives in the presence of the crucified Christ and is a trust of His love and love to Him. When we fear God, the spirit of pride cannot take residence in our heart. But what is it that's hindering us from being  humble? May be it is our lack of faith in God. Could it mean that we are more focus on what we can see than who He is and what He can do? Humility comes when we fear the Lord. Let us through the Spirit, walk humbly with God, reverence His majesty and  authority and submit with all humility to the command of His word. We will be benefited with riches and honour and life.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
