Humility is the forgotten strength that's ignored or misunderstood by most Christians because we've become so goal oriented that we forget that our main focus is to submit to the will of God.
We never see what God can and will accomplish in us and through us as long as we operate in what we feel are our strengths. 2nd Corinthians 12:9-10 reveals that God's strength in us is even more evident when we take our weaknesses to Him.
Pride is a subtle and cunning tool that the enemy uses to get the committed Christian to become self-reliant instead of becoming God dependent and Spirit led. But, pride only brings destruction (Proverbs 16:18).
Humility is a good seed our hearts sow by choice. Matthew 5:5 in the Amplified translation reads, Blessed (happy, blithesome, joyous, [a]spiritually prosperous--[b]with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the meek (the mild, patient, long-suffering), for they shall inherit the earth! When we come to God with a humble heart and contrite spirit, He will bring about increase in our lives regardless of condition, circumstances, or even devils.
Who needs a harvest? I do!
