The Rewards of Being Humble

Jesus says in Matthew 5:3 (AMP), "Blessed…are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!"

Let's face it: humility isn't a very popular word. Yet, all throughout the Bible, the Lord instructs us about the benefits of being "humble-minded."

I love James 4:6. It says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (ESV). In other words, the humble get the help!

I believe humility is often misunderstood and even viewed as a weakness. But it's the exact opposite. Humility places us in a position to receive God's grace and become everything He's called us to be.

A humble person is also a happy person. They can take joy in their life and what God has called them to do, regardless of what the world thinks about it.
