Have
you had your Joy Juice today? May each
serving of our Joy Juice be spiced with humility!
Someone
once said, “Those traveling the highway of humility won’t be bothered with any
heavy traffic.” Truly, the attribute of
humility is hard to find these days. We observe
false modesty and those who pretend to be humble. But a true authentic Christian who exhibits
genuine humility is the person who realizes he is nothing without God. “To grow tall spiritually, a person must
first learn to kneel.”
The
Word of God always says it best! In Romans 12:3, we read:
“For by the grace given to me I say
to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to
think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith
that God has assigned.”
My Bible footnote explains: “Healthy
self-esteem is important because some of us think too little of ourselves; on
the other hand, some of us overestimate ourselves. The key to an honest and accurate evaluation
is knowing the basis of our self-worth—our identity in Christ. Apart from him, we aren’t capable of much by
eternal standards; in him, we are valuable and capable of worthy service. Evaluating yourself by worldly standards of
success and achievement can cause you to think too much about your worth in the
eyes of others and thus miss your true value in God’s eyes.”
Humbly accept
your value in the eyes of God; and joyfully serve Him by serving others.
