ON SOLID GROUND

ON SOLID GROUND


Jesus' feet WERE
Always on SOLID GROUND


He was probably the MOST HUMBLE man
Who ever lived=whose greatness
GREW out of his humility
And his SUFFERING


How about you? Are your
FEET on solid ground?


I think our SOULS
Can best PRAISE the Lord-
WHEN we are STRIVING
To LIVE in the virtue-
Of HUMILITY=just like Jesus=
Himself did


“PRAISE the Lord-o my soul-
I will PRAISE the Lord
ALL my life


I will SING praise
To God-while I live” Psalm 146:1-2


The word-HUMILITY-
Comes from the Latin word-humus-
Which means GROUND


Indicating one's feet-
Are on SOLID GROUND


Or MAYBE the fact-
That we are REAL-
The way Jesus ALWAYS was


The way you and I
HOPE to be


We KNOW where we stand


“These are a
SHADOW of the things
That were to come


The REALITY-however-
Is FOUND in Christ” Colossians 2:17


YES-Jesus-the MOST REAL MAN-
That ever WALKED this earth-
The most humble man
WHOEVER LIVED


ALWAYS ON SOLID GROUND


The VIRTUE of humility=REQUIRES
Many qualities


Qualities like: mildness-TOLERANCE for others-
Being modest-UNPRETENDING-agreeable-
NO arrogance-and PATIENCE


It is EASY to be attracted-
To a person-with these qualities


That is WHY=I am in LOVE
With Jesus=my Lord and SAVIOR=
The most HUMBLE man-
Whoever lived


“He GUIDES the humble
In what is right


And teaches them=HIS WAY” Psalm 25:9


“TAKE my yoke upon you
And LEARN from me


For I am GENTLE
And HUMBLE in heart
And you will find REST
For your souls” Matthew 11:29


“For those
Who EXALT themselves
Will be humbled


And the who HUMBLE themselves
WILL BE exalted” Matthew 23:12


Yes-JESUS' FEET-
Were always on SOLID ground
He followed a HUMBLE WAY
Of living-
And we=should LEARN from him


SOMETIMES-people mistake humility-
For weakness-but in REALITY-
It is a QUALITY of great strength


It is-
An ATTITUDE of mind=
DON'T BE overly impressed-
With your own importance


GOD LOVES YOU! Jesus loves you!
-And you are IMPORTANT to them


Dear Jesus=MEEK & HUMBLE OF HEART=
ALL PRAISE and all glory and honor TO YOU


Our feet too=
ARE on SOLID GROUND IN YOU
