Joyce Meyer Devotional for the Day :HUMILITY OF HEART
Matthew 5:3 (NKJV) Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Let us begin today with the first “attitude to be in our lives”: the attitude of humility. By talking about being “poor in spirit” Jesus is saying that this is the opposite of self-sufficiency. “Poor in spirit” speaks of those who realize that they are totally helpless and lost apart from God. The person who is poor in spirit realizes his own utter helplessness without the Lord, and puts his whole trust in God.
When we think we are ok because we are a good person, we are depending on our own self-righteousness. But self-righteousness will not make you happy. Self-righteousness will not get you into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Apart from God, we are totally lost. It is only by God’s grace that we can be saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
We have to remember that going to church will not save us. Reading our Bible will not save us. Praying will not save us. Only a relationship with Jesus will save us. Only making Him Lord of our lives will save us. Good works are good, but salvation only comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
John 14:6 (NKJV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
When we come to this place of knowing that all we are, and ever will be, is because of Jesus, life takes a big turn for the better. Being poor in heart, this true humility of soul, says, “Lord, You are the great Shepherd. I have messed up my life in so many ways. Today, I give it to you and I know that You will make a success out of it.”
That is true humility! That is knowing that He is Lord, and giving Him the lordship of your life. So today, do not back down. Go ahead and live the abundant life by being poor in spirit. When we are poor in spirit, we are rich in life, because He gives us His Kingdom.
Confession: Today, I let humility of heart rule within me. Today, I give Jesus lordship of my life, and I know that He will guide me in the best path for my life.
