RICK WARREN DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY 3RD NOVEMBER 2024
Wise people remain humble. Humility and teachability go together. Be humble or you’ll stumble.
Humility begins by simply realizing you’re not God. Whenever you get stressed, repeat this to yourself: “God is God, and I’m not. God is God, and I’m not. God is God, and I’m not.”
That’s humility. People who aren’t humble think they’re God or think they have ultimate control. They think they’re done learning and have it all figured out.
The Bible says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6 HCSB).
Do you have a goal of becoming a wiser person? It’s one of the best requests you can make of God. Why? Because he wants to give you his wisdom, and he wants to bless the things you pursue with his wisdom.
If you want to be wise, then get to know God. The more time you spend with God, the wiser you’ll be in building relationships, managing money, handling conflict, diffusing problems, and dealing with all kinds of other challenges in life. The Bible tells us, “Fear-of-GOD is a school in skilled living—first you learn humility, then you experience glory” (Proverbs 15:33 MSG).
Have you ever heard something so counter-cultural? First you learn humility, and then you experience glory. Successful people who walk with Jesus have learned that they don’t know it all—and they’ve learned to depend on the only one who does.
The glory the Bible talks about is also not like most people imagine. You can have it all in this world and not experience true glory if you are not following Jesus. When you submit yourself to Jesus, the glory you’ll experience won’t come from your success. It will come from knowing and loving Jesus and seeing him face-to-face one day.
You don’t get there by making more of yourself but by humbling yourself and being in awe of God.
Humility says you can learn from anyone. You don’t know it all. No one does! That’s why we need to remain teachable, humble, and lifelong learners.
