Today, we’re focusing on living a life of daily humility before God. Our key Scripture for this episode is Colossians 3:12. We'll explore what it means to walk humbly with God every day.
Our springboard for today’s discussion is: Colossians 3:12: "Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience."
This verse reminds us that humility is a vital part of our Christian walk, along with compassion, kindness, gentleness, and patience.
Living a life of daily humility means consistently placing others’ needs above our own, recognizing our dependence on God, and seeking to honor Him in all we do. It's about having a servant’s heart and a teachable spirit, being willing to learn, grow, and admit when we’re wrong.
Practical Ways to Integrate Humility:
Start Your Day with Humility: Begin each day by humbling yourself before God in prayer, acknowledging His sovereignty over your life. Psalm 25:9 says, "He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way."
Listen More, Speak Less: Make a conscious effort to listen more than you speak in conversations. James 1:19 advises, "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." This practice shows respect and values others’ perspectives.
Serve Others Selflessly: Look for opportunities to serve those around you, whether at home, work, or in your community. Acts of service shift our focus from ourselves to others, reflecting Christ’s humility.
Remember…Embracing humility strengthens our relationships and opens us to God’s guidance, bringing inner peace and contentment.

Remember, God calls us to clothe ourselves with humility, reflecting His love and grace in all we do. Stay vigilant, stay prayerful, and always strive to walk humbly with God every day. Let’s get to work.
