Today Is Your Best Day Because of Humility: Live Each Moment

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. I PETER 5:6 NKJV

In his book Humility, Andrew Murray says, “Man’s chief care, his highest virtue, and his only happiness, now and throughout eternity, is to present himself as an empty vessel in which God can dwell and manifest His power and goodness.”

Today is your best day because God wants you to live each moment totally and completely dependent upon Him. The response of humility in your heart affirms that Jesus is all you need, that He is more than sufficient, that He is altogether faithful, and that He will never fail you in any way through every circumstance of life.

Humility is not measured by what you do or don’t do. It is not measured by what you say or how you look. Humility is measured by the attitude and disposition of your heart. It is measured by your surrender, your obedience, your faith, and your complete dependency upon God.

Today, let your heart say, “Lord, I love being nothing, so that You can be my all in all.”
