2025 Lent Devotional, Day 36 - Embracing Humility
• Series: '25 Lent Devotionals
Pride is devious and can even masquerade as false humility. True humility isn’t about self-denial but glorifying God and uplifting others. -- True humility isn’t about invisibility; it’s about making God visible through our lives. In Matthew 23, Jesus contrasts the Pharisees’ pride, revealing their bloated egos and misplaced priorities. Instead of seeking acknowledgement, genuine humility involves serving others in ways that elevate God's presence. It's about choosing to support others and thanking God for our lives and talents. Cultivating humility leads to a life where God is the focus rather than our egos. The Pharisees' obsession with external appearances rendered them spiritually destitute. Jesus' message is clear and profound: serve others. When we humble ourselves truly, God is exalted, and paradoxically, we too find an uplift in our spirits.
