Numbers 12:3 Moses was very meek, above all men on face of the earth.

A person willingly accepts and submits without resistance to the will and desires of someone else. The meek person is not self-willed -not

continually concerned with self, his own ways, ideas, and wishes. He is willing to put himself in

second place and submit himself to achieve what is good for others.

A person holds low esteem or opinion of his own goodness and importance. Spiritually, one abases himself

because he realizes his sinfulness and therefore he is willing to depend on God to meet His needs.

1.We Must Recognize Our Sinfulness and Our Dependence On God.

Matthew 18:1-4 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 He called a little child to him, and placed the

child among them. 3 And he said:“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never

enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest

in the kingdom of heaven.

2. We Must Submit To God's Commands.

3.We Must Accept Circumstances of Life According to God's Will.

4. We Must Submit to Human Authority Ordained by God

5.We Must Honor Others Rather Than Exalting Ourselves

6.We Must Serve the Needs and Interests of Others

7. We Must Work for Unity, Peace, and Harmony.

8. A Humble Person Is Willing to Forgive, not to Retaliate.
