One of my favorite verses is Micah 6:8 the Amplified version says, "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love kindness and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God?" My wise husband recently told me what he does during some conversations that lead to a fruitless ending. He doesn't join in them. He sets his mind on the Lord and not on the things of this world. Oh, that I become more like my husband. I would spend less time repenting of the words of my mouth.
Unselfishness is the word that comes to mind when I think of a servant. It describes Christ and my husband. To be humble we must be unselfish and not focused on self. My opinion doesn't matter. The wisdom of this world matters even less than what the news reports in the papers and the television are saying. The only wisdom we need is from above (and He lives in us), and it is given to us when we ask for it without wavering according to James1:5.
I thank God that all my sins have already been forgiven over 2,000 years ago when Christ died on the Cross for me. I can ask and receive forgiveness quickly from my brother and sisters in the Lord, and start each day fresh with my Lord. I believe that the Lord wants me to get over this hurdle of falling into the snare of the enemy. He sets this same trap for all Christians. It's pride of life. What do you think about such and such? The answer should always go back to: who cares what I think? What does God think? What does the Bible say about it? Seek God's wisdom. There's your answer for everything.
Ending with the Message Version of Micah 6:8
But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don't take yourself too seriously-take God seriously.
