"THE POWER OF HUMILITY

I Samuel 25:23-29

Abigail's humble actions that were used by God
1. Accept the blame. (24)
Three little words everyone likes to hear: It's my fault!

Jesus- “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us: (II Corinthians 5:21)


2. Look at the situation from a perspective different from your own. (28-31)

When conflicts arise, ask:

1. Will any of this matter tomorrow?
   
2. How will my actions today affect the others in my life tomorrow?
   
3. Have I looked at the conflict from a perspective different from my own?
   

Jesus- “did not consider equality with God something to be grasped......taking on the very nature of a servant.” (Philippians 2:6-7)


3. Put the situation in God's hands. (36-39)
Humility means letting go after you've done what needs to be done.

Jesus- “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)
