The Israelites had a chronic problem of pride. They continually failed to admit their need for God and Choose to trust in their own strenght instead. Time and time again, God had to show them the foolishness of their ways. He had to humble them for their own good. In Deuteronomy 8: 16-18, Moses reminded the Israelites of the importance of humilty.
He fed you with manna in the wilderness, a food unknown to your ancestors. He did this to humble you and test you for your own good. He did it so you would never think that it was your own strength and energy that made you wealthy. Always remember that it is the Lord your God who gives you power to become rich, and he does it to fulfill the convenant he made with your ancestors.
Proverbs 11:2 offers a simple truth we can hold onto-if we humble ourselves before God, we will gain wisdom.
God works best through humble people. When we admit that we are helpless and hopeless without him, God can use to do great things for his Kingdom. James 4:10 says:
When you bow down before the Lord and admit your dependence on him, he will lift you up and give you honor.
God hears the prayers of the humble(2 Chronicles 7:14)
God supports humble people(Psalm 147:6)
Be humble in dealing with others(Phillippians 2:1-11).
Lord keep me Humble.
