Psalm 119:80 says, “Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes, that I may not be ashamed.” The fruit of disobedience is shame. Why did Adam and Eve hide? They disobeyed. As I’ve continued to meditate on this verse, a scene from The Passion Of Christ came to my mind.

Jesus was tied to a post and they were getting ready to whip Him. He looked up and said, “Father, My heart is ready.” Philippians 2:5 says, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.”

Verse 8 says, “And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.” An obedient heart is a humble heart. We disobey because of pride!

James 3:13 Amplified says, “Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his noble living show forth his (good) works with the (unobtrusive) humility (which is the proper attribute) of true wisdom.”
