DAY 30   GEVURAH OF HOD: Discipline in Humility

Monday evening, April 26, we count thirty days of the Omer. Humility must be disciplined and focused. When should my humility cause me to compromise and when not? In the name of humility do I sometimes remain silent and neutral in the face of wickedness? Humility must also include respect and awe for the person or experience before whom you stand humble. If my humility is wanting, is it because I don’t respect another?

Exercise for the day:  Focus in on your reluctance to commit in a given area to see if it originates from a healthy, humble place.

My Help and My Deliverer

Psalm 70 TLV

¹ For the music director, of David, for a memorial.
² O God, come quickly to deliver me,
Adonai, to help me.
³ May they be put to shame and disgrace
    who seek my life.
May they be turned back in humiliation
    who delight in my hurt.
⁴ May those who say, “Aha! Aha!”
    be turned away because of their shame.
⁵ But may all who seek You
    rejoice and be glad in You.
May those who love Your salvation
    always say, “Let God be magnified.”
⁶ But I am poor and needy—
    God, come quickly to me.
You are my help and my deliverer—
    Adonai, do not delay.
