Day 28: The Surprising Rewards of Humility

Are you familiar with the biblical rewards of humility? These blessings are not by your own power, but by His hand. What a bounty in this list! From the 40 Days of Daily Bread Series.


Day 28: The Surprising Rewards of Humility.

When you obey God and begin to see Him changing you through the power of His Word, you will boast in the Lord as you walk in the way of humility.

The “old man’s” heart swells with pride, but the “new man’s” heart swells with the goodness of the Lord.

He blesses the humble with many rewards.

Rewards of Humility

These blessings are not by your own power, but by His hand. What a bounty in this list!

  • Wisdom (Proverbs 11:2)
  • Riches, honor, life (Proverbs 22:4)
  • Grace (Proverbs 3:34)
  • God teaches His way to the humble (Psalm 25:9)
  • God hears the desire of the humble (Psalm 10:17)
  • Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 5:3)
  • Lifted up (Psalm 147:6)

You will see these evident in your life and walk with God when you are walking in humility. When you notice one of these rewards, pause and thank God for His blessings.

I like to take that moment to also renew my resolve to keep a humble character by praying, “I humble myself before You, Lord,” as it says in James chapter four.
