Paul said this of Jesus our Lord, when describing His coming to earth over 2,000 years ago … “He humbled Himself.” Philippians 2:8
He “bought Himself low!”
Made Himself plain!
Absolutely possessed no sinful pride!
And as Jesus lived, so are we to follow. Peter and James both agree …
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God.” 1st Peter 5:6
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord” James 4:10
Even Solomon … “Go, humble thyself.” Proverbs 6:3, good advice!
Notice the commonality here … “Humble THYSELF!” (Or “THYSELVES!”)
Today’s Lesson, I fear, is geared toward America, my Country.
Because Scripture is clear … if we do not humble ourselves … GOD ALMIGHTY IN HEAVEN WILL DO THE HUMBLING FOR US! HE WILL BRING US DOWN!
The United States is increasingly sinful and proud (the opposite of humble) and anti-Christian!
And the Lord, if He has not already started doing so … will humble us … just as He has promised.
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18
Jesus said: “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased.” Matthew 23:12, in Greek “abased” here is the very verb “made humble!”
Let’s pray for our Nation as she votes today.
Oh, how we need to make a godly decision … lest God sooner rather than later HUMBLE US as a people.
