Mic 6:8 No, the LORD has told us what is good. What he requires of us is this: to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God.
God wants us to know who we are in Him and walk in this world as he has created us to be. We often will not allow ourselves to expect that we can do what the Lord requires of us to walk justly in love and humility. Today in our Wednesday morning Bible study we learned that being humble is walking confidently in knowing and really accepting the truth that we are no longer the old sinful man that was trying to live life. If we have been born again into a new life of confidence, we can walk humbly before God without pride while accepting the fact that we have a new redeemed life in him. A quote from our study book “The Supernatural Ways of Royalty” states, True humility is not the absence of confidence but strength restrained. The only way we can truly be humble is to have an honest assessment of ourselves before God.”
Knowing this truth of our new and confident life in God we can open the gates and let the King come in. He is the King of Glory and we are his royal children.
The King of Glory Psalm 24
The world and all that is in it belong to the LORD; the earth and all who live on it are his.
He built it on the deep waters beneath the earth and laid its foundations in the ocean depths.
Who has the right to go up the LORD’s hill? Who may enter his holy Temple? Those who are pure in act and in thought, who do not worship idols or make false promises. The LORD will bless them and save them; God will declare them innocent. Such are the people who come to God, who come into the presence of the God of Jacob. Fling wide the gates, open the ancient doors, and the great king will come in. Who is this great king? He is the LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, victorious in battle. Fling wide the gates, open the ancient doors, and the great king will come in. Who is this great king? The triumphant LORD—he is the great King!
