Humility and Mercy
Up to this point in our series on humility, we’ve been diving into the detailed characteristics of humility to help us reach it and be aware when we’re missing it. Humility is to pride as light is to darkness – the more light there is the less darkness. The more humility we walk in, the less pride gets in our way.
I agree with Andrew Murray’s statement: “I feel deeply that we have very little concept of what the church suffers as a result of its lack of humility – the self-abasement that makes room for God to prove His power.” To put it more clearly: more humility in the church results in more moves of God’s power in the church. Get self out of the way.
Let’s look at our context verse:
Romans 12:3 KJV
“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”
