• Oct. 2, 2007 - Humility
We are doing a unit on Humility for our morning devotions.
I am using the Character Journal
There are so many great points given on the journal that I decided to just take a few and return to the topic again in the future as the children mature we can get a deeper study started.
This will be our verse to memorize and reflect on
Proverbs 29:23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
I will read and expound on this account in the Bible...
- The story of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel chapter 4
Important points to ponder...
- Humility is recognising that God and others are actually responsible for the achievements in my life
- Pride is believing that we have achieved what in reality God and others have achieved for us
Questions I am asking myself...
What comments can we give in response to the Be all that you can be, anything you wanna be slogan's of the world?
When we do good... and some one praises us what should our response be?
Can we admit we are wrong at times and ask for forgiveness?
Do we try to rule the home with anger?
Do we listen to what our children are saying or do we hold pride in being the one in charge?
I will continue to add to this as we go along.

Last week I happened upon some LiriVox sermons from Andrew Murray!
The writings of Andrew Murray have been a huge blessing to me/ us.
Humility: The Beauty of Holiness was very powerful to hear. Please consider listening.
The thing that it brought to light is that ALL other virtue is built upon
- produced by first receiving humility of heart.
I plan on revisiting this sermon several times. It has produced some real change of heart and renewing of my mind to grasp this precept a little more than before.
May God bless you abundantly in our walk with Him. |
