Daniel 4:37
"Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything He does is right and all His ways are just. And those who walk in pride He is able to humble."
"HUMILITY COMES IN TWO WAYS!"
"WE CAN CHOOSE TO HUMBLE OURSELVES BEFORE GOD!"
"OR WE CAN BE HUMBLED BY GOD THROUGH CIRCUMSTANCES!"
"THE ROUTE WE CHOOSE WILL DETERMINE THE REWARD OR THE REBUKE!"
The first is a choice we make which carries great reward & very little consequence, if any.
Example:
Someone yells at you & you decide at that moment not to retaliate, but to allow God to work in that person's heart. By humbling yourself before God, you have just avoided an issue from escalating. Although that person believes they got the last word, you have won the ultimate battle of spiritual peace!
On the other hand, pride & stubbornness will call for God's hand to intervene through a series of undesirable circumstances, which are deemed necessary by God in order to keep us on the right path.
Example:
You know you shouldn't be involved in a certain activity, yet you ignore God's warnings & continue in said activities. Eventually things begin to fall apart all around you & get out of control until you turn back to God in the midst of turmoil & ask for him to rescue you!
"HUMILITY IS RECOGNIZING THAT EVERYTHING GOD DOES IS RIGHT!"
"HUMILITY IS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT ALL HIS WAYS ARE JUST!"
"TRUE HUMILITY WILL ALWAYS REMIND YOU THAT GOD IS ABLE TO HUMBLE THOSE WHO WALK IN PRIDE & STUBBORNESS!"
