The Spiritual Clothing of Humility. 1 Peter 5:5b—7.

Tie on the apron of humility because it is the means of giving and receiving grace. Spiritual Life Principle:

Humility is the clothing of God. It is grounded in the character of God. Psalm 113. Philippians 2:1—11. Jesus’ earthly ministry marked repeatedly by humility.

Humility heals relationships. Obvious Pride, focus is on self achievements. Hidden Pride, focus is on personal pain. Pride is self-serving. Humility is not, Rom. 12:3. 1 Cor. 13:4—7, Love embodies Humility.

Humility is honored by God. Examples: King Josiah, King Ahab, King Rehoboam. God desires humility! We have 2 choices; Humble ourselves or be humbled by God.

Humility is honored by God. Trials tend to make us doubt God’s goodness. Doubt leads to disbelief and pride. God cares for us! His tests are not to harm us but to produce fruit! Thank God for them and trust Him with your cares, worries, anxieties and fears.

Spiritual Life Principle Application: God’s gifts are on shelves…one below the other. The lower we stoop the greater the reward.
