10/16 1 Peter 3:8
8 Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude.
HARD
It is hard to love others.
They are different than we are.
They often criticize and condemn us.
Our lives are chaotic, and we often feel inferior.
Yet the Lord calls us to love others in spite of our feelings.
Obey the Lord.
He knows what is right.
10/15 Mark 9:35
35 He sat down, called the twelve disciples over to him, and said, “Whoever wants to be first must take last place and be the servant of everyone else.”
YOU
You want to be first?
Take last place.
Serve others.
Love others.
Love the Lord.
10/14 Proverbs 18:12
12 Haughtiness goes before destruction;
humility precedes honor.

10/13 James 3:13
13 If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.
KNOW
When you know God you walk in fear and reverence.
Step one is to seek God’s guidance.
Step two is to do what He says.
Step three is to walk carefully with the Lord in humility.
Step four is to spend time with Him to learn to fear Him reverently.
Then begin again the next day.
One day at a time, we walk with the Lord God Almighty.
10/12 Matthew 11:29-30
29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
STOP
Stop doing everything yourself.
Turn to Jesus.
Tell Him everything and He will lighten your load.
He will give you His peace and confidence for your day.
His joy will settle in your soul.
Trust in Jesus and He will change everything in your life.
10/11 Luke 10:23
23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
RICH
If you have money in your pocket and a bank account,
You are among the top 25% of the people in the world.
That simply means you are rich.
Do you think of yourself as rich?
The Word of God presents many stumbling blocks for the rich.
Probably ego, the opposite of humility is the worst.
Serve the Lord.
Humble yourself under His mighty hand.
Repent, and follow Jesus.
10/10 2 Chronicles 7:14
14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.
SEEK
Seek the Lord while He may be found.
Serve Him by serving others.
Love one another.
Confess your sins and repent.
He will forgive your sins.
Our spiritual walk depends upon the guidance and presence of the Lord.

6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.
WAIT
Humility is something we develop.
Don’t think more highly of yourself than you ought,
But also remember you are a child of THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE.
People count, make them count with you.
Serve the Lord by serving others.
We need each other.
10/08 Proverbs 22:4
4 True humility and fear of the Lord
lead to riches, honor, and long life.
REAL
Is your faith real or just for public consumption?
Real faith obeys and serves.
False faith makes a good show but folds under life’s pressures.
Do the next right thing.
10/07 Proverbs 29:23
23 Pride ends in humiliation,
while humility brings honor.
BE
Do not brag.
Do not boast.
Be humble and serve the Lord.
Give all of yourself to Him by serving His creation.
Love one another.
