Humble Yourself



This week we will look at nine possible answers using Scripture to answer the question: Why Do Christians Have to Suffer?

Answer 2. To humble you.

2 Corinthians 12:7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.

Trials remind us to not let our trust in the Lord turn into presumption and spiritual self-satisfaction. Our dependence in God comes from our faith, trust, and love in Him. The focus should always be on Christ and not us.

Be wise today and always – humble yourself in the sight of the Lord.
