I think humility begins with our thoughts. (renewing our minds) This is one verse that tells me what thoughts I need to practice
1 Timothy 1:15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom
I am the worst.
I consider myself to be the worst of sinners. This means I can not blame any person for any sin. How could I blame others when I am worse than them? There are other verses that come to mind.
IF you then though you are evil...Knowing I am evil and keeping this in the forefront of my thoughts keeps me dependent on God. I can not do any good thing if God does not empower me to do it and show it to me. I have no claim to anything but my own sin, which I hate and am ashamed of...nothing good in me unless God is in me. Nothing good can come from me unless God has put it in me. I have no claim to purity or goodness. I only have claim to evil.
Do you not know that you are pitiful wretched poor blind and naked? That also comes to mind. This is another way of thinking that is a practice of humility. I know I am pitiful wretched poor blind and naked.
There are other scriptures that teach us more about how to think with humility but one of the first things I learned is just how full of pride I am. I know I am sick. I need God in all things. I can accomplish only wickedness without God. This does not diminish as I practice humility. Like love, the more we give away the more we have. Humility is similar in that the more we practice humility the more pride we can see in ourselves.
