Humility~ CJ Mahaney

I was given this book to read by my High School pastor Austin Duncan and it's about something we all struggle with...HUMILITY

For me its one of the most difficult things because we dont think we need God. We think we can do it all on our own and that is PRIDE!! Here's some ways we can be HUMBLE on a day to day basis:

#1. Begin yor day by acknowledging your dependence upon God and

your need for God

- Preach truth to yourself (know Scripture)

#2. Begin your day expressing gratefulness to God

"Thankfulness is a soil in which pride does not grow easily."

-An ungrateful person is a PROUD person.. God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to the HUMBLE James 4:6

#3. Practice the Spiritual disciplines- praying, studying God's word, worship

#4. Seize your commute time to memorize Scripture

Psalm 119

#5. Cast your CARES upon HIM (My favorite one)

1 Peter 5:6-7 "Therefore HUMBLE yourselves under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you at the proper time. Casting all your anxieties upon Him because He CARES FOR YOU"

-the HUMBLE are genuinely care free

Question??- What comes into your mind when you think about GOD??
