WALK IN HUMILITY: Daily Devotional

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life - (John 8:12)

The Lord Jesus is our perfect example in all: He was humbleness personified. You could not follow it or imitate it and miss out on your path. He said, "... he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." You could not follow his steps and walk with pride; that's impossible.

Some say they are afraid that pride will take over them, no; not when you truly know and follow Jesus. The way in which He is followed is by the Word. Be a maker of the Word. 1 Peter 5:5 says, "You also, younger, submit to the elders. Yes, all of you, be submissive to one another, clothed in humility, for God resists pride, and grants grace to the humble."

Be subject to the Lord and His Word; it is true humility. In Philippians 2:3 (AMPC), the Spirit adjures. Do nothing on the grounds of faction [by quarreling, discord, selfishness, or for unworthy purposes] or motivated by vanity and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (the humility of the spirit) everyone consider others to be better than and superior to himself. [Think above each other that you do of yourself]. Essentially, He said, "Be humble!" Despise not your brethren in Christ, above all your rulers in the Lord; be subdued.

Pride derives from the devil. He led to his self-exaltation; and for his pride, God cast him out of his place of honor. Take a conscious decision to walk humbly. This is part of manifesting the life of Christ within you. He gets the promotion. The Bible says that God resists pride and grants more grace to the meek. This grace translates into honor, growth, expansion and progress. Hallelujah!
