Do you believe this?!?

It is amazing what humility will do for you, your family, your relationships and even your country!

Ladies does this make you want to be on your knees daily to come before the Lord in humility to repent, pray and seek His face?

Let’s take a moment and look at 2 Chronicles 7:14 – The Lord is speaking here to Solomon and He says:  if My people who are called by name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Now let’s look at our questions:

• Am I humble?
  • Are you humble?
  • When you are humble you will be driven to turn from your wicked, sinful ways.
• What does being humble look like?
  • Being humble is coming before the Lord in prayer and seeking His face
  • and asking Him to forgive your sins and then you STOP doing the sinful things in your life.
• Why does God tell us, tell you, to be humble?
  • In this verse God tells us to be humble, pray, and seek His face and stop our wicked, sinful ways so we can be forgiven and healing can begin.
• And… How would the world look if we did this one thing: Be Humble? 
  • If we were ALL humble and in our humility we prayed and sought the Lord and asked Him to forgive all the sinful things we did and then we stopped our wicked ways, God would be able to hear us (because our sin would not be blocking our communication) and He would forgive us and then…ready?…this is incredible!…GOD WOULD HEAL OUR LAND!

Can you believe it?  We are on week 6 of looking into God’s word to read about what He says about HUMILITY.

Let’s take a moment to evaluate ourselves in this area of Humility.

• How are you doing in regards to having humility in your life? 
• Have you needed to make some adjustments on: 
  • how you do things,
  • how you approach situations or
  • how you relate to people?

• Am I humble?
  • Are you humble?  When you are humble, it’s wages or payment to us are riches, honor and life.
• What does being humble look like?
  • First humility is the fear of the Lord.  Are you willing to come under the Lord and accept Jesus as your savior and then come under the Lord’s statues and guidelines to living because you know that when you do you will be with the Lord forever and He will be with you in this present life.
• Why does God tell us, tell you, to be humble?
  • In this proverb it tells you that humility is the fear of the Lord and when you have humility you will then have riches, honor and life.
  • Riches, honor and life can mean: riches in God’s grace, honor from the Lord and life meaning life eternal.
• And… How would the world look if we did this one thing: Be Humble? 
  • If we all had humility we would fear the Lord who is the giver of riches, His grace, the giver of honor, and the giver of life eternal.
  • We would recognize the without the Lord we would have nothing and that with he Lord we would have everything!  We would be concentrating on pleasing God and not ourselves.  Selfishness would be nonexistent and with everyone being self-less basic needs would be met for everyone.  How heavenly in that. 🙂

Hello Ladies!

Yep, it’s a color-able print-able!!!!  I had so much fun designing this for you 🙂

My desire is that as you color your print-able you will be able to take some time to dwell on God’s word and think about why he talks so much about being humble in His word.

I think that being humble is vital to our relationship with God.  God himself is so humble and with His humility He gives us so much, patience, gentleness, goodness, kindness, self control, LOVE, joy, peace …Hmmm…. are these not the characteristics of God?  The fruit of His spirit that we read about in His word?  The same fruit we are to have in our lives?  Wow… something to ponder.

Isn’t it amazing how this all comes together?

Being HUMBLE is key in our relationship with God and is then key in our relationships with others.

Let’s look at the questions we are asking ourselves about being Humble as we read 1Peter 5:6-7 – Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you in due time casting all your care upon Him for He cares for you.

• Am I humble?
  • Are you humble?  Are you possessing God’s characteristics and being under the mighty hand of God?
• What does being humble look like?
  • We are to humble ourselves.  If we are not humble, how can we get under God’s hand for Him to then lift us up in His due time?
• Why does God tell us, tell you, to be humble?
  • We are to be humble so that He can lift us up and while we are living we are to cast all our care on Him and let Him carry our cares and concerns for us as we live out our lives.
  • “lifting us up” can mean when our lives are through here, if we are humble and have bowed to His authority and His sons saving grace, we will be lifted up and will be with Him in heaven when our lives here are completed.
• And… How would the world look if we did this one thing: Be Humble? 
  • We would all he living humbly under the mighty hand of God, which would mean we are living by God’s rules and not man’s.  AND we would give God all our cares and therefore we would not have to worry, fret, or have fear.  That would be epic!

I hope that you were encouraged from the “Chapel Times” I shared with you these past four weeks about allowing God to Wash, Clean, and Refresh you.  In these days, it sure is important that we allow the Lord to continually wash, clean and refresh us.  I know that I need to be in God’s word every day and so do you, so we are refreshed and are able to be wide awake and in tune with His spirit to discern the times we are living in.

As I was studying Priscilla Shirer’s bible study, Elijah, this week, I read a section about being humble and how the Lord chooses to use those who are humble for His purposes. And I started to think to myself,

• Am I humble?
• Are we as Christians, the body of Christ, humble?
• And does the world promote humility?
• And then I thought… what would it look like if I was, if you were, if we were truly humble?

• God could not use Elijah for perform the miracle at Mt. Carmel until he had learned humility.
• What could God do through you if you learned humility?

Hello Ladies!

This is my third week in my “Chapel Time” Series.

I have had so much fun sharing my “Chapel Time” talks with you.  I hope that you are allowing the Lord to Wash, Clean, and Refresh you!

This week I am asking and answering the question:

• How can you stay refreshed?

There are two ways I am going to talk about that you can do to stay refreshed.

Let’s get going because now that we know how to be refreshed let’s do some things to stay refreshed!
