BEING HUMBLE=WITH OUR GOD

 

BEING HUMBLE=WITH OUR GOD

 

We should=ALWAYS BE HUMBLE

With our God=we should always

LIVE IN HUMILITY=and know our place

Before=THE ALMIGHTY FATHER GOD

 

I am=NOT SO SURE=that

That was the case=with

THE RICH YOUNG MAN TODAY

 

He comes to Jesus=thinking

He has OBSERVED=all the commandments

AND ASKS Jesus=what he must do

TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE

 

“All these=I HAVE OBSERVED=what

Do I still lack?”                                                                                                                 Matthew 19:20

 

He was=a RIGHTEOUS YOUNG MAN

But he was rich=I don’t think=he expected

Jesus’ ANSWER=as we SOMETIMES DO NOT

BEING HUMBLE=WITH OUR GOD

 

“Jesus answered’==’if you

Want to be perfect=go=sell your possessions

 

And give to the poor=and you

Will have TREASURES IN HEAVEN=then

Come follow me’”                                                                                                  Matthew 19:21

 

We need to BE HUMBLE=with

Our God=it is MORE IMPORTANT

Than having a good credit score

 

If we want to FOLLOW the Lord=and

BE HUMBLE=we have =to GIVE UP

Some things=we have to=LIVE IN GENEROSITY

And with A HUMBLE HEART

BEING HUMBLE=WITH OUR GOD

 

“He guides=THE HUMBLE=in

What is right=and he teaches them=his way”                                                                         Psalm 25:9

 

“These are the ones=I

Look on with favor=those

WHO ARE HUMBLE=and contrite in spirit

And who tremble=at my word”                                                                         Isaiah 66:2

 

“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

 

Evidently=the rich young man

Didn’t want=GOD’S KINGDOM

As much as he said he did

 

He VALUED earthly riches=more then

THE KINGDOM=of God

 

How about us=are we

BEING HUMBLE WITH GOD?=are we

Living like=the poor widow?

 

BEING HUMBLE=WITH OUR GOD!

“HUMBLE YOURSELVES=before the Lord

And he will=lift you up”                                                                                                      James 4:10

 

How about us=are we=LIVING GENEROUSLY

Like the Lord wants=are we

 

Making space=making room

FOR OTHERS=in our life?=that is

What we have to do=if we

Want to live=IN THE LORD’S KINGDOM

 

BEING HUMBLE=WITH OUR GOD!

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER HUMBLE and generous God=who

WELCOMES all=into his Kingdom
