Humility in Our Marriages Leads to Blessings! Pt 2

Happy Monday everybody!!
Ok so we've been meditating on 2 Phillipians 2:3-11 right, so now with that Scripture let's look at some definitions of humble.

1. Not proud or arrogant; modest in opinion: to be successful yet humble
2. Having a feeling of insignificance, inferiority, subservient
3. Low in rank, importance, or status,
4. Courteously respectful: in my humble opinion you are wrong
5. Low in height, level
6. To lower in condition, importance, dignity, abase
7. To destroy the independence, power or will of
8. To make meek: to humble one's heart

A few opposites of humble
1. Pride- an assumption of one's superiority and importance, contented
2. Rude- rough, harsh, or ungentle, discourteous in a deliberate way
3. Insolent- boldly rude or disrespectful

So as you look at this list do you see you…NOT your mate but you? I'm going to go slow on this because I feel this is something God wants us to really get.
Let's look at the first part of Phillipians 2:3-11 lets work through 3 & 4

3Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than himself.
4Look not every man to his own things, but every man also to the things of others.

Ever ask your spouse to do something only to have him or her begin to break down the "things" that they do and are doing in the marriage? That's definitely a strife starter, and it also sounds like vainglory. does that sound like a person "lowly" in mind..nope. The humble spouse of course does not respond like that because a humble person loves to serve their mate, and lives to serve their mate.

Verse 4 is deep --especially if you have been molded by the "King or Queen" mentality of the world. You know the one that constantly thinks about me, me, me, me and struggles to say you or even WE. One way I keep myself from the Queen mentality is by calling my husband everyday and asking him a very important question..."Is there anything that I can do for you today?" Most of the time Reg is like nope I'm good, but then there are days when he gives me a "honey do list!"LOL! Do I trip nope....I married him to be his helpmate and I'd rather him want my help than that of another woman. You feel me ladies and gentlemen!?!!? (-:

Before you go head on back to the definitions and if you see yourself make up your mind to work on that number or those numbers. Really think about humility and keep meditating on Philippians 2:3-11 along with me. God wants to make our marriages stronger than ever, as well as our character, IF we are willing to be humble...

Have a great week ahead Visitors, FB & Twitter couples and make each moment you have with your spouse special!

God Bless Your Marriage & Family
