The Lord reserves a special place in His heart for those who are humble and lowly (Psalm 138:6; cf. Proverbs 3:34; James 4:6-7). Those He deems lowly, are not necessarily folks who are standing on street corners begging for a handout; nor or they the ones pushing grocery carts all over town.<\/p>\n
Rather, they are the ones who maintain an attitude of humility<\/strong> (1 Peter 5:5-6), realizing that their worth is not measured by wealth, status, fame or beauty (Luke 12:15; Proverbs 31:30).<\/p>\n Let us never make the mistake of thinking that humbleness and lowliness carry with them the idea of weakness or a lack of ambition and enthusiasm (Numbers 12:3; Zephaniah 2:1-3; cf. Psalm 76:9). Rather, let us take on the humility and lowliness of a little child (Matthew 18:1-4; Matthew 19:13-14; Mark 10:13-16; Luke 18:15-17).<\/p>\n By doing so, we please our heavenly Father<\/strong> (Philippians 2:5-9; cf. Matthew 3:13-17; Matthew 17:1-5; 1 Peter 2:18-23; 2 Peter 1:15-17).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Lord reserves a special place in His heart for those who are humble and lowly (Psalm 138:6; cf.
