FAITH CAPSULE: Are you considering way to be humble in this challenging trouble.

1 King 21

Among ways to keep eye on God and not to become a faith failure in this challenging trouble is humility. To be humble is important to run the race of life without becoming a vessel of faith failure. Man must know God to be humble and not to be a vessel faith failure. Are you humble? It is written, “To be humble in the sight of God is to be lifted up by God.” (James 4:10) God does not oversee the humble ones but He is paying attention to the humble ones. Through the Bible, God repeatedly reversed irreversible when humility takes place in the life of man. Ahab was among many with humility before God to experience God’s mercy which reversed irreversible. When Ahab’s wicked ways positioned him in irreversible consequence before God, he became humble before God. God recognized Ahab’s humility and He reversed Ahab from calamity consequence. 1 King 21:29 recorded God’s response to Ahab’s humility, “See how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity in his days. In the days of his son I will bring the calamity on his house.”
God is consistent to His word if we are committed to His word by keeping eye on God in time of challenging trouble. 2 Chronicles 7:14 recorded, “…if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Philippians 2:3-8 identified numbers of way to be humble, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.  Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,  who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,  but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.” Humility is also a source of obedient.
