Summary of Readings

§     Humility includes recognizing God’s greatness, acknowledging our dependence on Him, and valuing others above ourselves

§     Humility and meekness are often complementary – humility being an internal quality, while meekness is more about outward behaviour

§     The KJV Bible describes Moses as being meek, but other translations refer to him as being humble; Jesus was clearly both meek and humble

§     God’s Promise is that if His people humble themselves and pray, He will hear, and answer their prayers

§     We should seek to be humble in heart towards God, and show meekness in our attitude towards others

§     Jesus said the meek shall inherit the earth – their bodies - to be fulfilled at His return, when mortal shall put on immortality.
