Reflection: Clothed in Humility

Humility is not weakness—it’s strength under control. It’s the quiet confidence that comes from knowing who you are in God and choosing to serve others from that place of security.

Think of Jesus on the night before His crucifixion. The King of Kings wrapped a towel around His waist and washed the feet of His disciples (John 13:3–5). He knew His identity. He knew He had all authority, yet He chose the posture of a servant. That simple act of washing feet revealed what it truly means to be clothed in humility.

In a world that praises self-promotion and pride, humility stands out as a reflection of Christ’s character. It opens doors for God’s grace and favor to flow in our lives. Pride shuts God out, but humility draws Him close.

To be “clothed in humility” means to wear it daily—like a garment that identifies us as followers of Jesus. It means listening before speaking, forgiving when wronged, serving without expecting recognition, and trusting God to exalt us in His perfect timing.
