Practice Humility All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. 1st Peter 5:5 There are many scriptures throughout the Bible where God teaches us about humility. I realized early on in my career that humility was an important part of what it takes to be a good leader. Dictators can rule and govern, but they are never respected by the people they control, but someone that is humble, kind and considerate can get much more accomplished by being a servant leader, rather than a dictator leader. Jesus was a servant as He came to help and serve others, and I believe we need to also serve others. Gods greatest commandment was to love God with all our soul, mind and strength, but His second greatest commandment was to love others as we love ourselves. My message to you today is not to go through life with your focus on yourself or your accomplishments. Practice humility where ever you go. Think about others around you, in your jobs, your neighborhoods, your schools, or anywhere you are. Be kind, considerate, respectful to everyone, as you are the example to these people of the kind of person that should reflect the love of God. Just a friendly smile to the clerk when you get your morning coffee, or a good morning to people when you arrive at your job can make a difference . These simple acts of kindness can make a difference in someones attitude for the day. These simple acts of kindness shows others that you care about them, and that you notice them. You can make a difference where ever you are by practicing humility, and serving others. My Daily Devotional Volume Five February 15
