The other day I decided to do a little search on what God says about humility. I think it's fair to say that there are quite a lot of references. God obviously thinks a lot of it... This is not an exhaustive list, and in no particular order, but I think it's worth thinking about, especially when the same thing is repeated 2 or 3 times. Proverbs 15:33   - The fear of the LORD is instruction in wisdom, and   humility   comes before honour. Proverbs 18:12   - Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but   humility   comes before honour. Proverbs 22:4   - The reward for   humility   and fear of the LORD is riches and honour and life. Zephaniah 2:3   - Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek   humility ; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the LORD.

Ever since I heard this hymn, I loved it. Tonight was the first time I have heard the 4th verse. I've looked it up before and not seen a 4th verse. I think it's beautiful.

What a privilege to be His child, because He made it possible for us to be reconciled to God.

Exodus 15:2 "The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." Psalm 18:2 "The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1 "The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him." Psalm 28:7 "For You are my strength. Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth." Psalm 31:4-5 "For You are the God of my strength; Why d...
