Day 5: Steps to Humility

On the last day of Character Makeover's study on humility, the author presents an action plan. I'd like to share this action plan here in today's post. A Humility Action Plan lays out the steps to follow to deepen this quality in your life.

Humility Action Plan

Prayer Focus: Worship God by praying about his wonderful characteristics or his names. Ask him to show you where pride is being exhibited in your life. Praise him and put your focus on him.

Devotional Focus: Choose a Scripture passage on the topic of humility.

Extra Perspective: Read books to better understand God's nature. Or give extra attention to a friend so you can take your focus off of yourself.

Action Steps: Developing a Right View of God
Choose one or two action steps to practice this week.

  • I will worship God. Take time to pray more during your daily activities.
  • I will study God. Read your Bible and maybe buy a bible study book.
  • I will hunt for God. Journal where you see God in your daily life.
Action Steps: Developing a Right View of Myself
Choose one or two action steps to practice this week.
  • I will stop trying so hard to be perfect.
  • I will not tear myself down.
  • I will not boast.
  • I will try to learn one new thing every day.
  • I will check my motives.
  • I will obey God in an area in which I have been holding back.
Action Steps: Developing a Right View of Others
Choose one or two action steps to practice this week.
  • I will be an encourager.
  • I will be a helper.
  • I will be a servant.
  • I will be a receiver.
  • I will be a mentor.
For your Master Action Plan, choose one major action step from the Humility Action Plan and record it on your Master Action Plan. Consider writing the Master Action Plan in your journal.

That is all for this week's focus on humility. Join me next week when we study the character quality of confidence.
