Humbleness & humility
James 4:6: "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble
Proverbs 22:4: "The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life."
Humbeness also known as humility is the quality of being modest, and free from arrogance. It is not about thinking less of yourself, but rather about thinking of yourself less valuing others, acknowledging your limitations, and letting your actions speak louder than your words.
Biblical humbeness 🙏🏽
Philippians 2:3-8: "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."
In the Bible, humbleness (or humility) is not thinking less of yourself or viewing yourself as worthless. Rather, it is "thinking of yourself less" and aligning your life with God’s will. It is a foundational heart attitude that replaces pride, self-seeking, and arrogance with submission to God and a desire to elevate others.
Why it Matters 💥
True humility is not about having a low self-esteem or thinking less of yourself; rather, it is about thinking of yourself less. It is a display of inner strength that allows a person to be self-aware, acknowledge their mistakes, and respect the ideas and contributions of others.
