Thursday, March 6

Walk in modesty with your God!—Mic. 6:8.

 

Modesty and humility are closely linked traits. We show that we are modest by having a proper view of ourselves and of our limitations. We show that we are humble by displaying lowliness of mind. (Phil. 2:3) Generally, a modest person is also a humble person. Gideon was a modest and humble man. When Jehovah’s angel told Gideon that he had been chosen to deliver Israel from the powerful Midianites, that humble man replied: “My clan is the least in Manasseh, and I am the most insignificant in my father’s house.” (Judg. 6:15) He felt unqualified for the assignment, but Jehovah knew better. With Jehovah’s help, Gideon completed his assignment successfully. Elders do their best to display modesty and humility in all things. (Acts 20:18, 19) They do not exaggerate their abilities or accomplishments; nor do they beat themselves up for their flaws or failings. w23.063 ¶4-5

Good to know... otherwise I would have too many bruises...

Modesty and humility allow Jehovah to use us effectively

Modesty is about how you appear to others, while humility is about how you truly see yourself.

I agree with you.  Sometimes I want to step outside myself and kick me.  Does that make sense?  Who am I? Why did I say that? Why did I go there? Carmen are you kidding me?

 

My goodness, I await the day that we go into the New World so I can start shedding this dreadful woman!
