It’s so contradictory to culture.
Humble yourself and you look weak is what they would have us believe. The reality is that there is power in humility. I know, I struggle with the notion myself! As a gal who seeks justice, I often forget that it’s in humility that I stand the most powerful. I feel as if I have to defend myself against the rival, you know? As I continue to journey through January committed to living intentionally, I’ve been recently reminded that humility is paramount. I realize that I might be the only one out there who is convicted in this, but you see, I THINK of myself as having an understanding of humility, but as I dive into humility, Jesus style, it becomes clear to me that I have quite a bit of work to do.
Jesus style humility. I’m working on it.

Don’t forget, there’s more creative inspiration over at ICDevos today!
Oh yes. Needed this reminder, dear Lori.
Power in humility…so true.
Live your life intentionally…that is great. I have been working on being a person of integrity. I can be humble most times, but sometimes I do strike out to make myself look better, and those times I always regret
Your words and the way you capture them always bring such renewal and refreshment to my head. I am grateful for this reminder to humility, especially being in a leadership position. I am constantly aware of the need to be humble before the Lord and his people so he can be glorified and not my self.
