Summary

Pride is defined as being self-centered and self-reliant, but humility is all about being God-centered and God-reliant. When issues arise in our lives, trusting in Him and what He has done, instead of in ourselves and what we think we can make happen, shows that we are truly humble. When humility is present, honor will also be present. Walking humbly results in the divine honor that can only come from God. The world knows nothing of true humility, but the Word of God gives us multiple examples.

When some people hear the word “money,” their eyes light up like they’re seeing dancing dollar signs. There’s nothing wrong with having money in the bank, but we’ve all seen individuals who take it to the extreme and seek it exclusively. We all need money, but many people have the wrong relationship with it, and how to get it. The Bible tells us there are right ways and wrong ways to acquire wealth.

Have you ever felt all alone and afraid when you found yourself in a tough situation? It’s natural for us to feel afraid when we’re faced with trouble too big to handle by ourselves.

Most people want to experience joy and happiness, and some people spend their entire life pursuing it. Joy can be defined as an emotional state of being or a feeling of elation, but many people miss the mark when searching exclusively for it. The world’s definitions of joy are incomplete and impartial, because those definitions can change at any time. To learn the truth about how to find it, we must search through the Bible.

Have you ever wanted more than anything else to say or do something that was weighing on your heart, but was stopped by fear? At one time or another, everyone has bumped up against its cold, icy grip. Fear can stop us from having the courage to do what we know is right, and from achieving our dreams. The good news is that God knows all about this force in our life, and we can overcome it when we rely on Him.

At one time or another in our lives, we’ve been hurt by someone else. In many cases, the hurt doesn’t come from a stranger, but from a close friend or family member. Forgiving people for what they said or did not only strengthens family relationships and preserves friendships, but it also brings emotional and spiritual healing to the forgiver. It’s not easy putting aside all the anger and bitterness to move forward, but the Bible gives us specific instructions on how to do so.
