Blessings of Humility

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation. Psalm 149:4

From: Trust a Godly Womans Adornment by Lydia Brownback

Humility is God's will for each of his daughters. In fact, God wants humility for us more than he wants our service or good works, because humility honors our good God and enables us to live confidently with peace, contentment and joy. Humility is the seed that flowers into real trust that God knows what he is doing...
God will go to great lengths to humble us so that we don;t miss out on His blessings. How does God produce humility in our hearts? He often does do by bringing into our lives wildernesses, weaknesses and trials of all sorts. It is in times of trouble when our resources have run dry, that we are most likely to look for evidence of God's goodness and power at work. He sends wildernesses and trials in our lives to teach us to depend solely on Him. However, we may fail to benefit from these difficulties if we respond wrongly....
[Whatever
wilderness, weakness or trial you are facing] is a test designed especially for you by a good God.
