Boldness with Humility
When
you are humble you can still be bold.
In Scripture, Moses is declared the most humble man (Numbers 12:3). Take a
moment and think about what you know of Moses; then try to grasp what true
humility is. By looking at how he (Moses) progressed in boldness we learn a
valuable key to humility: Moses grew
bolder because his relationship with God grew deeper. His humility was always rooted
and fed by his God. Do you remember our first lesson, Our Foundation? Moses’ foundation in Jehovah was the key for his
humility and it can be for us as well.
Likewise,
what was Jesus like, was He humble? Yes, he was. But we again see that he was
bold in many instances. Jesus refused to conform to the world and did what was
right because God said it was right. Jesus did what God told Him to do without
compromising. When you are truly humble,
God’s opinion and standards will be the only thing that you base your actions,
responses, and life on.
Humbleness is not cowardice,
rather boldness committed to the most loving Father ever – God.
