Psalm 131

"Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things to high for me. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever."

I want to practice humility before the Lord. I do not want to have a haughty spirit. I do not want to put myself above others.

We should always strive to be humble before God and our fellow men. Each of us has a special place in God's scheme of things. When we become so important that we have no time for those around us then we are too important. God sent his Son Jesus to teach us how to act. He came as the suffering servant. He suffered for our sins. He was a servant to all men. In order to be what he wants us to be we must become as servants to all we come in contact with.

Lord Jesus I praise you for being the example of the servant you want us to emulate. Bless us this day as we strive to do the work you have set for us. I love you and desire to be more like you. Amen.
