Scripture

“God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.”

Application.

The world wants us to boast about ourselves. We are told to sell ourselves, to put ourselves out there to be seen. We can live our lives out loud on social media, letting people know what awesome lives we are living.

Celebrities seem to compete to see how much of their bodies they can expose in public. They literally live as if the flesh is the only thing that is important.

Jesus commands us to be humble, because he is humble. The Son of the Living. God is humble and meek. The one who carries the glory of deity hides it in a body of flesh.

We don’t have to make a big deal, clamouring for the attention and the accolades of people. The approval of God should be enough for us.

We don’t have to selling ourselves for the best jobs and positions because God’s assignment for us is way better.

In the end, it is not the proud, the haughty, and the arrogant ones who will inherit the Earth. They will pass away. Those who are humble, who follow Jesus in all that they do, they will inherit the Earth.

We don’t have to scramble for fame and fortune. The Lord will give us all that we need

Prayer

Father, thank you for the acceptance and love that come to me from you. Thank you that I never have to prove myself to you. Amen.
