The Source of Humility

Numbers 12:3 - (Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)

Why was Moses so humble? Was it his character? Was he humble in Egypt? Did Moses learn it in the desert after he fled Egypt?

If we look at Exodus 3:11-13; 4:10. Some might say this is humility while in reality it was an inferiority complex. It wasn't until Moses saw the mighty hand of God and spoke with him on the mount Sinai that he found true humility.

True humility comes from an intimate relationship with God. Humility comes from a revelation knowledge of God. Humility comes when we come face to face with God. Humility comes when we see God in all his glory.

Once you have found humility it doesn't necessarily mean that you will keep it. We will lose it when we begin to focus on self. We will lose it when we forget God's majesty and holiness. This is why we daily need to spend time in His presence.
