HUMILITY VS. HUMILIATION

Have you ever thought about the difference between 'humility' and 'humiliation'? There is a significant difference. Humility is the voluntary and willful choice to accept one’s place and position, whereas, humiliation is the forcing of an unwilling participant into their place or position.

For the believer this carries great significance. Are we willing to submit to Christ and the place and position of His kingdom that He chooses... Humility! OR are we constantly striving for our own desire only to be humiliated by the Holy Spirit as God’s will and purpose will not be foiled.

The basic premise from Scripture has always been, Honor God and God will honor you!
