Title: The Power of Humility and it Rewards.

-

"Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life." - Proverbs 22:4 (NIV)
Devotion: Biblical Examples of Humility:
Leaders like Moses and King David demonstrated humility, acknowledging their weaknesses and relying on God's guidance. Prophets Jeremiah and Isaiah emphasized recognizing human limitations and submitting to God's will. Jesus taught and modeled humility, serving others and prioritizing their needs above self.
Key Principles:
1. Humility and Wisdom: Humility is linked with wisdom (Proverbs 11:2). A humble heart is open to learning and growth.
2. Dependence on God: Humility recognizes our fallen nature and dependence on God's wisdom and salvation.
3. Servant Leadership: Emulate Jesus' example by serving others selflessly.
4. Acknowledging Limitations: Admit weaknesses and seek God's help.
5. Valuing Others: Place others' needs above your own.
The Reward of Humility
Humility is not about self-deprecation but recognizing our need for God's grace. By embracing humility, you'll receive:
- Riches (spiritual and material)
- Honor
- Life (abundant and eternal)
As Proverbs 22:4 promises, humility yields a profitable return. So, humble yourself before God and reap the rewards.
Reflection Questions
1. How do you demonstrate humility in your daily life?
2. What areas do you need to surrender to God's guidance?

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded.
