Reading 13 Habits Of Humble People by Jeff Boss. Curious to find the contrast between the world's definition of humility and the Bible (if any).
The "world" defines humility | The Bible defines humility |
They’re Situationally Aware: Aim focus outward, absorb (learn) | Take on Jesus' work, with Jesus humble attitude (Matthew 11:29), See he's gone before you (Deut 31:6,8) |
They Retain Relationships: Engaged workforce, less turnover | Invite the marginalized into fellowship, more turnover from disengaged to fully included (Luke 14:12-14) |
They Make Difficult Decisions With Ease: Moral and ethical, decisions from shared interest | Look at what's best for others (Philippians 2:4) |
They Put Others First: Care and share the credit and wealth | Count other more significant then yourself (Philippians 2:3) |
They Listen: Eager to understand others, active listening | Jesus actively listened to people near to him and those who were far from him. |
They’re Curious: Crave opportunity to learn from others experience | Swift to hear (Matt 13:9, Rom 10:17) |
They Speak Their Minds: Courage, no fear of being wrong | slow to speak (Prov 10:19,17:27), bold to speak (2 Cor 4:13) |
They Take Time To Say “Thank You” in the little things | Be kind and tenderhearted to one another (Ephesians 4:31-32) |
They Have An Abundance Mentality: Plenty of opportunity just requires collaboration and communication | God's word accepted in our hearts is massively bountiful (Luke 8:4-8,15) |
They Start Sentences With “You” Rather Than “I”: They brag about others | Boast about my weakness, that Christ would shine within me (2 Corinthians 12:9) |
They Accept Feedback as a path to improvement | Graceful path is revealed to and received by the humble (Psalm 25:9, James 4:6) |
They Assume Responsibility, speak up and accept their part | Repentance speaks and owns up to failure. |
They Ask For Help, honoring the knowledge and ability of others | God gives us his Holy Spirit when we ask (Luke 11:13) |
