Week 5: Hod – Humility/Devotion:

Omer counting day 30.

Discipline – Humility (the Discipline/Vigor side of Humility) Gevurah – Hod in Hebrew.

Your humility must be disciplined physically and focused spiritually, so that you do not end up compromising and sabotaging your relationship with God.

Some times people can allow others to trample over their decisions, and to disrespect their standards of moral structure, just because they are being quite and silent for the sake of revealing humbleness and humility towards others.

Your humility needs to be spiritually disciplined so that others may not abuse your ability of being humble.

Ask yourself:

Do I allow others to disrespect my godly decisions and moral standards just because I am trying to maintain peace for the sake of being humble?

Exercise of the day:

Investigate your tolerance towards stubborn and irritating people, and see if it really comes from a healthy and humble place.

Also say something in humbleness to defend the qualities of your decisions towards those who intend to think that your opinions do not count.
