Humble Before the Lord (Aug 12)
Nowhere is wisdom more essential
than in community relationships.
A heart attitude controlled by
the fear of the Lord is the key to
proper response towards others.
To promote peace, justice and
prosperity with others, commit to
godliness, in thots & motives as well
as tongue & temper (Prov 14-17).
Lord, we will Humble Ourselves:
The Lord is far from the wicked but
He Hears prayer of the Righteous…
The ear that Hears the Rebutes
of life will abide among the wise.
He who disdains instruction
despises his own soul, but he who
hears rebuke gets understanding.
The fear of the Lord is the
instruction of wisdom, and before
honour is Humility (Prov 15:29-33).
Father, I am grateful that You see
me as righteous just because
of my relationship with Jesus.
But I know You also want me to
choose to live righteously as well.
Grant that my thoughts, words
and actions will always be pleasing
in Your sight so that my prayers
will be pleasing to Your ears.
Enable me Lord each day to do
what’s right in Your sight. Amen.
Lord, help us adopt the posture
of a child who is humble, open to rebuke and open to instruction.
For You promise that those who
are humble will be the greatest
in Your kingdom. Help us to be
gentle & lowly in heart as You are
And we pray that our humble faith
and service will accomplish great things for Your kingdom. Amen.
Lord, in our Weakness & Humility,
grant us Your grace and vision
to see what we can achieve,
to reach out beyond ourselves,
to share our lives with others,
to increase our sense of purpose,
to be aware of where we can help,
to be sensitive to Your presence
to stretch our capabilities and
to give heed to Your call. Amen.
