You Can Do Hard Things

DAY 2 OF 7

Humility

When God told Abram to go to a new land, his nephew Lot went with him. When they settled, they both grew very wealthy in flocks and herds and tents and servants. They grew so much that the land could no longer support them both. Their herdsmen started arguing over the land, the water sources, and other things. That’s when Abram told Lot to choose whichever land he wanted. Abram was the oldest and had the right to choose first. But instead, he chose humility. He gave Lot the higher honor of choosing which land he wanted. Humility is never the easiest path. It requires us to set aside our own wants and needs in favor of others. But God blessed Abram for his humility. When we choose others before ourselves, it shows strength of character—not weakness. Christ humbled Himself by placing our needs above His own. When we do the same, we model Christ’s behavior, and God is pleased.

Prayer: I struggle with pride, Lord. Humility doesn’t come easily for me, but I want to be like You. Teach me to lay aside my self-centeredness and put others’ needs before my own.
