It is a known biblical fact hat the Lord takes pleasure in the humble (Psalms 149:4).

God had a close relationship with Moses and spoke directly to him because Moses was a humble man.

The Lord will take you through the ashes of despair to teach you humility.

Throughout the years I have been through many storms both literal and spiritual that taught me humility.

The following are a some of the benefits that you will receive from God when you learn to live a humble life and trust totally in the strength and power of God.

Benefits of Humility

1. The Lord hears the cry of the humble

When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble. (Psalm 9:12)

Lord, you have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear, to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may oppress no more. (Psalm 10:17-18)

2. The Lord beautifies the humble with salvation

For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. (Psalm 149:4)

3. The humble will never fall.

Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

He who heeds the word wisely will find good, and whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he. (Proverbs 16:18-20)

In that day, the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness. 

The humble also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. For the terrible one is brought to nothing, the scornful one is consumed, and all who watch for iniquity are cut off—(Isaiah 29:18-20)

4. The humble will become the greatest in the Kingdom of God

The Lord said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. (Matthew 18:3-5)

5. The humble will be exalted

 “But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.  And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. (Matthew 23:11-13)

6. Humility brings unity among the brethren

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble.

Do not be wise in your own opinion. Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. (Romans 12:15-17)

Therefore, if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

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. (Philippians 2:1-4)

(Philippians 2:1-4)

7. God guides the humble

The Lord will guide the humble in justice and teaches them His ways.

Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way. The humble He guides in justice, and the humble He teaches His way.

(Psalms 25:8-9 NKJV)

8. Humility attracts wealth and long life

If you want wealth, honor and long life you need to make God the center of your life and maintain a humble spirit.

By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life.

(Proverbs 22:4 NKJV)

Additional Comforting words

As you continue to walk with the Lord I want to encourage you to receive the scepter of righteousness in your home.

The Lord Jesus Christ is God’s anointed One who will appoint you as kings and priests unto God.

I pray that you will humble yourself before God so that your prayers will be answered.

We trust that you will never forget that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Thus, you can rest assured that you will receive the blessings of Abraham.

Let us endeavor to continue to live a life that is pleasing to God.
