An Attitude of Humility

Humility is not how you dress, it is not the money you make, it is not where you live, it is not what you drive, it is not even how you look. We're never once commanded by God to "look" humble.

Humility is an attitude. It is an attitude from the heart. An attitude of the mind. It is knowing your proper place. Never looking down or talking down because someone may be of financial level less than yours. It is knowing your roles and fulfilling it for God's glory and praise.

The attitude Christ had, who emptied Himself of the voluntary and independent use of his divine attributes. There is no quality more God - like humility.

The place of higher exaltation, as we see in the Lord Jesus Christ, is a place of self emptying humility. It's not a phony-baloney style of fake piety. It's true humility of mind. It's putting the other first... It is being like Christ.
