Humbled: Welcoming the Uncomfortable Work of God (David Mathis)

Description Product Details Humbled Welcoming the Uncomfortable Work of God How do we humble ourselves?  Or, would you prefer to get humbled? Humility, according to the Bible, is not something we can just up and do. Both the negative and positive examples of Scripture—from Pharaoh to Rehoboam, from Josiah to Ahab, from Hezekiah to Manasseh, and even to Christ himself—teach us that humility first comes from the hand of God. He initiates the humbling of his creatures. And once he has, the question confronts us: Will you receive it? Will you humble yourself in response to His humbling hand, or will you kick against Him? This concise, accessible study of Scripture’s “humble yourself” commands shows us two surprising lessons about the pursuit of humility in the Christian—both what we cannot do and also what steps we can take.
