A humble heart is a thankful heart, a thankful heart is a humble heart
“You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!” - Psalm 30:11-12 (GW)

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of Your wonderful deeds. Gratitude flows from the depths of my soul, acknowledging the goodness of God’s will and works.
A humble heart is a thankful heart. It is by grace I have been saved through faith. And this is not my own doing; it is the gift of God. A humble heart acknowledges salvation as a gift and expresses gratitude for God’s unmerited favour.
I trust in You with all my heart and I don’t lean on my own understanding; in all my ways I seek first Your kingdom to come and Your will to be done, and You make my paths straight. A humble heart relinquishes control and trusts in God’s guidance. I do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, I value others above myself. He has shown me what is good and what He requires of me—to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with my God. A humble heart doesn’t demand its own way.
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honour. I humble myself before God and towards others and trust that He will lift me up in due time and for His purpose. As part of God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, I clothe myself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. I humble myself with thanksgiving.
A thankful heart is a humble heart. O Lord, You have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know, when I sit down or stand up and You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home and You know everything I do before I do it and what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. And You go before me and follow me and You place Your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!
Today, I am reminded that a humble heart is indeed a thankful heart. And a thankful heart remains ever humble before our gracious God.
Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:
