3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Philippians 2:3 ESV Humility is not denying the power you have but admitting that the power comes through you and not from you.
1. Humility is more about our attitude toward God than toward man. 2. Humility is foundational to your relationship to the Father. 3. Live with a purpose while remaining humble. 4. Humility enables us to say YES Lord before we ask WHY Lord. 5. Humility is vision correcting.
"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us."
