Humility is having the correct opinion and
attitude towards ourselves, or having the correct estimation of yourself.
Thayer’s Greek word studies define humility
as “Having a humble opinion of one’s self, a deep sense of one’s moral
littleness, modesty, humility, lowliness of mind”. Humility means “to make low,
bring low, to bring into a humble condition, to assign a lower rank or place, to
rank below others who are honored or rewarded, to have a modest opinion of
one’s self, to behave in an unassuming manner.
Humility is not only the
correct estimation of self and seeing yourself as God sees you. It is also the
ability to receive what you don’t deserve. Humility is believing what God says
is true. The height of pride is to reject what God has freely given. “But He gives more grace. Therefore it says God
opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Submit yourselves therefore
to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:6-7).
