Embracing a lifestyle of humility goes against the grain of our society. In the world, the humble guy is the one who finishes last. He is the one who gets stepped on. To get ahead in this world, the thinking is that you have to be abrasive; toot your own horn, or step on other people. This episode underscores the blessing of humility. One day, the disciples asked Jesus, who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. To their surprise, Jesus called a little child and set him amidst them. “Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven,” Jesus said (Matthew 18:3, KJV). That incident speaks volumes about God’s view toward humility. Humility involves a lifestyle of submission to the will of God. Such a lifestyle can usher in the favor and blessings of the Lord like nothing else will or can. A Christian’s failure or refusal to walk humbly will cause him to miss out on God’s best for him. “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6, NASB). Grace refers to God’s unmerited blessings and favor. We are saved by grace, but we need the grace of God in every aspect of our life. That’s why it behooves us to walk humbly before the Lord. It is the only means by which we can receive more grace. Duration 17:58
