Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord


Ezra 8:21-22 (New International Version)

21 There, by the Ahava Canal, I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions. 22 I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road, because we had told the king, “The gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him.”

Again I am reminded that humility and fasting go together. I have thought and asked many others, “how do we humble ourselves?” A friend reminded me also of this song. Enjoy and pray, ask God how He would have us humble ourselves.
