Humility and the fear of God always go together. The mark of a genuinely humble person is that he fears God as well. And the proof that we genuinely fear God is that we will have low thoughts about ourselves. Jesus was filled with the Spirit of the fear of God, and this made Him “quick of scent in the fear of God, so that He never judged by the impressions that He received through what He saw and heard” (Isaiah 11:2-3). When we are not humble and do not fear God, we will be quick to form opinions about other people and about various situations, which we have either heard of or seen. One mark of godliness is that we are quick to hear and slow to speak, and even slower to form an opinion, and almost totally unwilling to give an opinion until we have first heard what God has to say to us. The more important the decision you have to make, the more you must wait on God before you act.

Personal Reflection:
How must be disciplined to listen and wait on the Lord?
