When I read, I collect quotes about certain topics.  Humility is one topic that I have been interested in.   The following are quotes and verses from my study.  I’m sharing for my own benefit as I find that the more I write things out, the better I remember them.  I love studying my Bible and learning more about God.  My best moments are spent with Him.

For ye see your calling, bretheren, now that not many
wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble,
are called:  But God hath chosen
the foolish things of the world
to confound the wise;
and God hath chosen the weak things of the world
to confound the things of the world,
and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea,
and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:
That no flesh should glory in His presense.”  1 Ocr. 1:26-29

God is searching for a shepherd
to make into a king
He is searching for a humble man
for to Him all praise to bring
Not the strong and not the mighty
He delights in simple things
God is searching for a shepherd
to make into a king.  R. Hamliton

He that is dowm needs fear no fall:
He that is low no pride;
He that is humble ever shall
Have God to be his guide.

Humility grows best in winter weather and under storms of affliction.  Samuel Rutherford

Once learn this lesson, to think little of thyself, and when it comes to that, thou art within sight of Christ.  Samuel Rutherford

Everyone that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.  Luke 18:14

My heart panted after this-to lie low before God, as in the dust; that I might be nothing, and that God might be ALL, that I might ecome as a little child.  Jonathan Edwards

Edwards spoke of pride as the sin of the human heart.  He was speaking from experience as well as from Scripture.

Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.  Pr. 16 19

God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble, James 4:6

Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up.  James 4:10

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowls of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind. . . . . . .Colossians 3:12
