what does the LORD require of you?

Walk humbly with thy God: True humility will inevitably lead us to say to God, “Thy will be done.”.

 “Walk humbly with thy God”- Does not mean  to walk in a particular physical posture, with head bowed and wearing a pious expression with hands clasped or walk humbly with God means living meagerly, and settling with bare minimum to live, not living in comforts  or by eating extremely simple meals etc .

 Some even believe that being in prayer 24/7, and doing God work.No attitude or thoughts or intentions will work out good. Humility involves having a constant communion with God.

 Agree with me that you need the Grace of God to live on this earth.  Proverbs 3:34 says that God gives Grace to the humble.  ‘God resists the proud and gives Grace to the humble’ (James 4:6).  ‘God does not forget the cry of the humble’. Psalm 9:12) ‘It is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud’.(Proverbs 16:19). 

Walking humbly with God is a tough task. It means otherwise simply not exalting one’s thoughts nor our wills above that which is God’s will for our lives.

• GOD gives more grace. Bible has a treasure of words to enlighten us about humility   Therefore He says: “ God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”James 4:6
• The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way.Psalm 25:9
• The humble shall see this and be glad; And you who seek God, your hearts shall live.Psalm 69:32
• The LORD lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground.Psalm 147:6
• A man’s pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor.Proverbs 29:23

Walking humbly with God, simply put means, walking in obedience to God. 

• Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.James 4:10

Humility belongs to the highest form of character of a person. 

World at times may go behind proud people, but people with humbleness are always   outweigh others in all aspects.

 It is God given Grace to have humbleness at heart. 

God sees the heart and grant all your wishes , prayers etc according to the content  of the heart.

Therefore humble yourselves under the 

mighty hand of God,

that  He may exalt you in due time. 

1 Peter 5:6 

GOD BLESS
