Read Matthew 23:12.
Micah 6:8 calls us to “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God”. Humility, however, is often the hardest to live out. In Matthew 23, Jesus warns against the pride of the Pharisees, who sought recognition rather than righteousness. He reminds us that true greatness is found in humility—those who exalt themselves will be humbled, but the humble will be lifted up.
Jesus Himself is the perfect example. Though He was God, He humbled Himself to serve, suffer, and ultimately die for us (Philippians 2:5-8). His life teaches us that humility is not weakness, but strength under God’s authority.
Walking humbly means surrendering our pride, serving others selflessly, and trusting God’s timing for exaltation. Instead of seeking recognition, we focus on faithfulness. Instead of striving for status, we serve as Christ did.
Today, ask yourself:
- Am I serving with humility or seeking recognition?
- How can I put others before myself as Jesus did?
As we choose humility, God promises to lift us up in His perfect way.
