Today's Word: Philippians 2:3

When I was still "in the world", meaning before I became a Christian, I was guilty of being vain and fell into the trap of thinking that in a number of ways, I was better than others. But when I was born again and started reading the Bible, I was amazed to find out about the complete humility of our Lord Jesus, who received all the insults and mockery and even refused to defend himself by answering accusations against Him before He was finally nailed to the cross. Humility is something that Jesus wants us to learn from Him and emulate as we live our everyday lives. In Philippians 2:3, we are clearly instructed by the apostle Paul to consider other people as better than ourselves. That is very straightforward and the first time I read this verse, I was struck. And now, I've quit thinking I'm better than other people on doing anything, or on what I have (materially, especially). On this note, I encourage everyone to remember that pride is the greatest sin as it's what caused angels to become demons. Pride is the exact opposite of humility. Our Lord Jesus 
tells us to completely do away with pride and be humble like Him. 

God bless you today.

Today's Word: Psalms 25:9

God loves those who are humble and disapproves of those who are proud. This is made clear in His Word and is mentioned many times. So many people, however, do not know or ignore this truth, that's why they do what they please and do not ask God to teach them and lead them in the right way. When they prosper, they think of their achievements as results of their strength, or wisdom, or influence and do not give credit to their Creator who owns everything and everyone on earth. May we always remember that everything that we have is from God, who is the source of all those in this world and not forget to thank Him everyday 

as a way of humbling ourselves.

The Lord bless you today.
