One of the many recurring themes in the bible is the importance of humility so I thought that we could share some of the passages on it and sort of take a deeper look at what it means, especially since there are a lot of people who struggle with it, myself included.
Micah 6:8 8 He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness, [2]
and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah was a contemporary of Isaiah and a minor prophet, for those of you unfamiliar with him, and the seven chapters that make up the book of Micah deal with corruption amongst Gods people and judgement and the mercy of God.
So any ideas on what it means to be humble? In Micah 6:8 we are told to 'walk humbly' with our God. How do we do that?

Be a humble bee! Hahaha, that was the theme of the year my senior yeah or high school within my youth group.
Humility is simply being modest and not showing off, bragging, etc. A humble person is also probably more concerned about other than themselves and works for other people rather than themselves.
It's a really difficult trait to describe, but I think it's an extremely important one.

Giving the glory to God, knowing that while we may do it, without him, who would we be, how could we accomplish these things, that kind of stuff...

Paul's approach to humility was to "think of all others as better than himself"
