No one likes to be humbled, yet it is in the “Valley of Humiliation” that many precious lessons are learned.
In his book, Pilgrim’s Progress, John Bunyan tells of a poorly clad shepherd boy who lived in this lowly Valley of Humiliation, and looked after his father’s sheep. No happier or more carefree boy was to be found. As the travelers passed through this Valley of Humiliation they heard the boy singing: “He that is down need fear no fall; He that is low, no pride; He that is humble ever shall have God to be his guide.”
“Just hear him,” said one of the travelers, “that boy is merrier and has a heart more at rest than any of those who are clad in silk and velvet.”
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.” 1 Peter 5:66Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: (1 Peter 5:6).
Memory Verse: “BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AND KEEP IT.” Luke 11:2828But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. (Luke 11:28).
