HUMBLE PIE
Micah 6:8 (ESV): He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
To Walk Humbly Biblically: This is a heart posture towards God. To lean on Him and His ways rather than to rely on our own strength.
“To walk” with God denotes an active habit, a communion in the common movements of the day.
When we walk in humility, doing what is right doesn't become a task, but it becomes who we are as followers of Jesus!
The worship of God is the subject of revelation, not of invention. True religion is not a new design displaying each man’s taste, but a copy from a plan, framed and fixed by the Lord himself. We are to follow a path well defined, and not to map out a course for ourselves. We are not like children crying in the dark after an unknown Father, whom we seek by ways of our own, but we are as babes who follow whither the warm hand of love gently draws them. To us it is not night, for the true light has risen, and is shining round about us; the Father has revealed himself, and we have an unction from the Holy One, so that all things needful for this life and godliness are lifted out of the region of the unknown, and placed among the matters concerning which the prophet saith, “He hath shewed thee, O man.” - Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV): 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
