The Lowly

• Lowly
• Character

Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

• Contrite
• Character

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

• Children

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

• Lowly
• Heart

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.

• Assurance
• Glory
• Power

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

• Grace

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.

And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

• Character
• Church
• Poor

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

• Heart

LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

{A Song of degrees of David.} LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
