Today Is Your Best Day Because of Humility: The Road Map

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. I PETER 5:5 KJV

Jesus, in His humility, left His exalted place in heaven and came to a lowly place on earth. In His humility, He took on our humanity. As a man, He didn’t seek out a place above men, nor did He seek out a place that was equal to men. Instead, He took the place below others and became the servant of all. In humility, He listened only to His Father and did only what His Father directed Him to do. He had no independent agenda.

Jesus’ humility led Him to the lowest place of all—His suffering and the shedding of His blood upon the cross.

Through Jesus’ obedience of humility, God raised Him up, exalted Him to the highest place, seated Him at His right hand, and gave Him a name that is above all names.

Today, as your heart seeks the lowly place, humility will move you toward everything that is good and away from everything that is evil. Humility is the pathway of every servant’s journey. Humility is the roadmap that guides you to God’s unconditional love, and it is the sign that points you to the vast treasure of His abundant grace.
