The moment we think that we are being humble ~ we aren’t. Unobtrusive means: not conspicuous or attracting attention. James 4:10 says, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” Humility is a heart attitude that exemplifies itself through our inner character, tone of words, and body language. We never see a humble person with their nose in the air.

Paul wrote to the church in Philippi about this. Philippians 2:3 says, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.”

Heart obedience exemplifies the Lord. Verse 8 says, “And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself…”

Those who walk in heart obedience, walk under a canopy of grace. Heart obedience acknowledges Who is in charge. Paul saw himself as the Lord saw him ~ a bondservant of Christ.
