THE QUALITIES OF A CERTAIN WOMAN: HUMILITY
Teaching 4: Humility — Certain Women Fellowship
A Certain Woman is not elevated by pride, recognition, or the praise of people.
She is shaped in quiet surrender, where her life reflects the humility of the One she follows.
Forgiveness softens the heart.
Repentance turns it.
Obedience aligns it.
Humility keeps it low before God.
Humility Is the Posture of the Heart
Humility is not weakness.
It is not thinking less of yourself.
It is choosing to see yourself rightly before God.
Jesus said:
“Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” — Matthew 11:29
To be lowly is to be yielded.
To be meek is to be submitted in strength.
A Certain Woman does not strive to exalt herself.
She rests in allowing God to form her.
Humility Is the Way of Christ
The life of Jesus is the perfect example of humility.
“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant…”
— Philippians 2:6–7
Though He was Lord, He chose to serve.
Though He had all authority, He walked in surrender.
A Certain Woman understands this:
If Christ humbled Himself,
so must she.
She does not chase position.
She embraces posture.
Humility Requires Letting Go of Self-Exaltation
Pride seeks to be seen.
Humility is content to be known by God.
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.” — James 4:10
A Certain Woman releases:
• the need to prove herself
• the desire to be recognized
• the temptation to compare
• the urge to defend her own importance
She trusts that God sees what man may overlook.
And she rests in this truth:
What God exalts cannot be diminished by man.
Humility Is Trust in God’s Hand
True humility is not insecurity—it is confidence placed in God instead of self.
A humble heart says:
“Lord, not my way, but Yours.”
It does not resist correction.
It does not harden under instruction.
It remains teachable.
“God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” — James 4:6
A Certain Woman desires grace more than she desires control.
So she bows low—
not in defeat,
but in trust.
Humility Is Evidence of Spiritual Maturity
As a woman grows in the Lord,
her need to be seen decreases,
and her desire to please Him increases.
She becomes:
• slower to speak
• quicker to listen
• gentler in response
• more aware of God’s presence than people’s opinions
What once stirred pride
now invites surrender.
What once demanded attention
now seeks alignment.
Humility becomes her covering.
A Certain Woman Walks Humbly with Her God
Scripture tells us clearly:
“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee,
but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” — Micah 6:8
To walk humbly with God is to:
• stay near His voice
• remain sensitive to His leading
• acknowledge Him in all things
• give Him glory in every season
A Certain Woman does not walk ahead of God.
She walks with Him.
Step by step.
Yielded and aware.
Reflection
Beloved sister,
Is there any place in your heart where pride has quietly taken root?
The Lord does not reveal it to shame you—
He reveals it to draw you closer.
Humility is not loss.
It is safety.
For the lower we bow before Him,
the closer we are to His heart.
Closing Prayer
Father,
Create in me a humble heart.
Remove every trace of pride that separates me from You.
Teach me to walk low, to listen closely, and to trust You fully.
Let my life reflect the humility of Christ—
not seeking to be lifted by people,
but content to be shaped by Your hand.
Form in me the heart of a Certain Woman—
one who walks humbly with You in all things.
Amen.
