In 2018, Don’t Forget Humility
Three days into the New Year, many of us are in resolution mode. Some of us have long failed them. Others are still holding on. But as we crank up New Year’s plans for diets, Bible reading, and exercise, let’s not forget the one thing God values most in the creature; humility.
Humility is the virtue of every virtue, and the grounds of all godliness. It’s no exaggeration to say that any pursuit of humility will do you good at all times and in every sphere of life. And pride, the lacking-opposite, is the thing which God says he is against. Though things like pride and self-actualization might be more culturally en vogue than ever, God still hates them.
If you’re like me, you didn’t master humility in 2017. So, whatever priorities we have for 2018, or any year, let’s consider putting humility high on the list. Here are a couple specifics to keep in mind if, like me, you would do well to pursue humility this year.
