Humble

"This is the one I esteem; he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at My Word."
Isaiah 66:2 (NIV)

Humble and contrite, not two words we tend to use very often, but ones we must fully understand and emulate, to please God. Understanding what these words mean is actually the easy part, living these words is so much harder.

Humble
1. conscious of one's failings
2. modest and unpretentious
3. ordinary or not very important

Contrite
1. feeling regret and sorrow for one's sins or offenses
2. penitent

Just because we can find it difficult to be humble or contrite, we must not stop from striving to live these words fully.

Sinful pride is often what destroys any hope we have of helping ourselves to be humble and contrite. Only God can break through our pride and sin, and create the right spirit within us to accept the grace we need to be humble.

Humble King (by Benton Brown)
Oh kneel me down again
Here at Your feet
Show me how much You love
Humility

Oh spirit be the star
That leads me to
The humble heart of love
I see in You

Cuz You are the God of the broken
The friend of the weak
You wash the feet of the weary
Embrace the ones in need
And I want to be like you Jesus
To have this heart in me
You are the God of the humble
You are the humble King


Oh kneel me down again
Here at Your feet
Show me how much You love
Humility

Oh spirit be the star
That leads me to
The humble heart of love
I see in You

You are the God of the broken
The friend of the weak
You wash the feet of the weary
Embrace the ones in need
And I want to be like You Jesus
To have this heart in me
You are the God of the humble
You are the humble King
You are the humble King

You are the God of the humble
You are the humble King
