Five Days Toward a Peaceful, Humble Lifeნიმუში

Cultivate Humility
Humility is the soil that all the virtues of the Christian life grow from. With a measured understanding of who God is and how he cares for us and our neighbors, we can build better relationships, worship God more fully, and live with the kind of peace and stability that God provides to all who hope in him.
Here are a few ideas for cultivating humility in your life. To cultivate humility is to practice it until it becomes part of who we are.
1. Rejoice in the greatness of God.
Write down two or three things that remind you of how big God is. For me, it’s the stars, the ocean, and the landscape of a shrinking world as I’m taking off in a plane and flying into the clouds.
2. Glorify God.
Take those two or three things and write out a simple prayer of praise. Allow thankfulness in your heart to turn into praise on your lips.
3. Anticipate God’s continual faithfulness.
Write about a specific way God’s been faithful to you and how you know he’ll be just as faithful in the future.
4. Exalt God.
Today we can exalt God because who he is never changes and his power and goodness will never end. We exalt God because he is the only one worthy of exaltation. Write a line or two to express this.
Reflect: What might a daily practice of humility look like for me? What efforts can I make to regularly exalt and praise the God who made me?
Pray: Dear God, help me cultivate the soil of humility in my life, so I may more clearly see you and the world around me. Amen.

About this Plan

In his book The Hidden Peace, Joel Muddamalle defines humility as the ability to see ourselves and others as God does. This balanced understanding of our place in the world can bring contentment as we begin to place our cares, anxieties, and weaknesses in the hands of the Father. As we take this path together, may you discover the unrivaled peace that comes with knowing Your God is in control.
