Humility: learning to love correction.

Learning To Love Correction from Covenant Life Church on Vimeo.

Day One: Listen to the sermon above (By Josh Harris) and answer the questions. It's only 11 minutes long.

"The heart of a fool can always find an excuse for ignoring correction" How have you found excuses for ignoring instruction?

According to the sermon, list three things that the cross says about you: ____________, _____________, ______________.
Do you agree with God's assessment of yourself?

Day Two: If you are confronted on 10 things and only 1 of those things has a grain of truth, how do you respond humbly? Memorize Prov. 9:10

Fill this in. Responding rightly to correction means not responding to whom?___________ but responding to whom? __________.

"Humility bows before God and says, you are the perfect One, I am flawed." Take time to thank him now for the ways that he is correcting you, even though it is difficult.

Day three: Read Chapter 2 in Humility: true Greatness. Pray for 20 minutes for people that you dislike, disagree with or that rub you the wrong way. Ask God to give you humility in your interactions with them.

Day four: review what you underlined in chapter 2 and write down your favorite quote. Have you identified the most deeply rooted seed of pride in yourself? Find a scripture reference that deals with that area in your life. Take time to pray and confess it to the Lord and ask for His help.

Day five: Read Heb. 12:8-11; Rev. 3:19

What do these passages say about God's discipline in our lives?

Do you see trials, confrontations and difficulties from God as good?

Pray for an hour today (use the format from earlier if you want) Take time to make humility a central prayer for yourself and your family, friends and even enemies.
