How Humility Brings Happiness

What are the benefits of humility before the Lord? Proverbs 15:30–33 looks forward to the sermon in the midweek meeting this week. In these four verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that humility before the Lord brings understanding through rebuke and joy through the gospel. The sermon emphasizes the vital connection between humility, God's Word, and spiritual well-being, drawing from Proverbs 15:30-33. It highlights that receiving both rebuke and the "good report" of the gospel—the message of God's saving grace—is essential for a healthy spirit and a rejoicing heart, ultimately leading to wisdom and honor. The central message underscores the need to trust God's promises and submit to His instruction, recognizing that true joy and understanding stem from a humble acceptance of His Word and a belief in the transformative power of the gospel, which declares that God saves sinners.
