Bible Question:
How do we humble ourselves as little children, (I'm seeking to hear Gods voice) and the answers I'm geting is to humble ourselves as little children, I want to know how to do it... Donald Fisher |
Bible Answer: Dear Donald, Welcome to the forum. God speaks to us through His Holy Word - the Bible. (2 Tim 3:16-17) That is why the apostles urge us to study diligently God's Word. (2 Tim 1:13-14, 1 Peter 2:2) In concern with humility, Phi 2:1-8 is good for us to ponder. Matthew 18:1-16 relate to your question directly. I believe the below commentary from Matthew Henry is helpful: "The importance of humility. Verses 1-6 Christ spoke many words of his sufferings, but only one of his glory; yet the disciples fasten upon that, and overlook the others. Many love to hear and speak of privileges and glory, who are willing to pass by the thoughts of work and trouble. Our Lord set a little child before them, solemnly assuring them, that unless they were converted and made like little children, they could not enter his kingdom. Children, when very young, do not desire authority, do not regard outward distinctions, are free from malice, are teachable, and willingly dependent on their parents. It is true that they soon begin to show other dispositions, and other ideas are taught them at an early age; but these are marks of childhood, and render them proper emblems of the lowly minds of true Christians. Surely we need to be daily renewed in the spirit of our minds, that we may become simple and humble, as little children, and willing to be the least of all. Let us daily study this subject, and examine our own spirits." (by Matthew Henry) Shalom Azure |
