“But I will leave among you a humble and lowly people, and they will take refuge in the name of the LORD.” (Zephaniah 3:12)
Humility recognizes your own frailty and weakness. This is why ego and arrogance are often prized in our culture – the man who believes he can do anything sometimes rises to the top by just sheer force of will and a blindness to his own mortality and character flaws.
Humility is only helpful if we have somewhere to take refuge in when we realize how vulnerable we are. God offers that to us. The ability to be vulnerable and not overcome. His grace covers all and provides us with mercy and compassion in our weakness.
If we follow the world’s logic, we will be required to feign strength at all times. If we follow God, we can be weak because He is strong.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
