Read Luke 18:9-14
By Curtis Strickland
In Psalm 9, the Psalmist says that “He forgetteth not the cry of the humble.” In our society, it seems that humility is nowhere to be found. We’ve become a proud and arrogant people. Climbing the ladder of success has become the most important thing in some lives. Jesus taught about being a servant. He washed the disciples’ feet as an illustration. Jesus let them know that He came to serve and not to be served.
Isaiah 57:15 reveals God’s values “For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with Him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and revive the heart of the contrite ones.” Jesus says in Matthew 18:4: “Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
