Ezekiel 21:26 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says, Take off the turban, remove the crown. It will not be as it was: The lowly will be exalted and the exalted will be brought low”

There was a time in my life when I full of my own importance that I did not notice those around me. I remember working for a Communications company as a business developer.

My job was to fly into an untapped city and begin developing a business market for our product. The company was sponsoring a sales contest for the most new markets created. I was competing against other business developers across the nation.

I thought for sure I had the sales contest in the bag, when the results were tabulated at the end of the contest, I was shocked to discover I had finished near the bottom in total sales.

I learned a difficult lesson about humility. Listen Humility isn’t about thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.

Judah learned humility through their conquest at the hand of the Babylonians. Their position of power gave way to their new status of captives.

God spared some of the most humble citizens by allowing them to stay with their fields and vineyards.

God wants His people to practice a lifestyle of humility. We as believers should live in such a way that our lives point others to salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer Suggestion: Ask God to help you exalt Him to those around you.
