Worship More and Worry Less: 30 Days of Praiseنموونە

The Hebrew word we translate as “humility” is anavah. This word means more than the absence of pride or thinking lowly of yourself. It’s not self-abasement or throwing yourself under the rug. Anavah is rooted in a sense of responsibility, recognizing how your blessings pertain to your mission. David, the man after God’s own heart, was filled with anavah, humble purpose. He knew his place as He worshiped God. David was king. He did mighty things. Yet, David knew his place as God’s servant.

When we truly worship God, our hearts are humbled in this powerful, life-giving way. Anavah postures our hearts to be all God called us to be. In our scripture today, David prays a beautiful prayer to God, one of anavah, amazed that God chose him and his family.
