Humbleness

"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:" I Peter 5:6

 Have you ever been to a child's sports game? It may have been a baseball game or football game, or even a basketball game. The hardest thing for the children who won the game to do is to not pick on the loosing side.

But you see it all the time, they are happy that they won, but they have to be taught how to show humility. 

Why are they not humble Maybe they do not understand the concept of losing. But that is why it is so important to know what it is. 

Being humble means having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance. 

Simply put, you do not put yourself above others. 

As I was reading Daniel chapter 4, I learned a lot about King Nebuchadnezzar. In this chapter, it shows us him in stages. 

The first stage, the Bible shows a rich king, with all his riches. But he was also a troubled king. He went to bed one night, and had a dream that bothered him. He tried to get wise men to interpret the dream, but no-one could. Then Daniel came and told him what his dream was about. 

I love how God do things. He can use the most unlikely person to get our attention to us show us ourselves. That is what he did with Kind Nebuchadnezzar. 

Daniel told him that he would be driven out of the kingdom to live with the beast for some time. And it happened. 

Then after some time, the Bible states that he came back to himself and he got up praying and thanking God. 

Isn't it just amazing how God allows us to go through thing just to get our attention. But it helps us humble ourselves and realize that we cannot do anything with our God. 

Sometimes we get a "big head" when things are going right in our lives not realizing that God is the one that is in control of it all 

It's easy for us to get to a point in our lives where we feel like we have made everything in our lives possible for our selves. 

But what we have fail to realize that God has done it ALL for us. 

It should not take for us to be at our lowest for us to humble ourselves before God. We should always stay humble not matter what is going on in our lives. 

God bless.
