3 Overlooked Qualities of a HIM: Humble, Teachable & Flexible

Humility is the quality of having a modest view of one’s own importance, rank or abilities. It includes a recognition that you don’t have all the answers, that you may be wrong at times and that others may have better insights, wisdom and abilities in certain areas than you do.
Proverbs 18:12 – Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.

Teachability is the quality of being able, willing and eager to learn from others. It includes an appreciation for the gifts, abilities and experiences of others and a recognition that you can benefit and grow by listening to and learning from them.
Proverbs 19:20 – Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.

Flexibilty is the quality of being able to easily modify your own opinions, goals and actions. It includes the ability to adapt to new information, change course, compromise on non-moral issues, and value other’s interests as highly as your own.
Proverbs 22:3 – The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.

– Red Writer
“Where is God at work in your life?” a mentor asked me one day. I didn’t know what to say. He made a compelling argument that for every man, God is standing in the middle of our fear, inviting us to run towards it.

Part of being a High Impact Man is rejecting passivity. Oftentimes as men we avoid/shrink back/check out when things get stressful, overwhelming or intimidating. We must choose to reject that natural tendency of passivity and step towards that fear knowing that God will meet us in the middle of it!

Challenge: Where is God inviting you into your fear today?

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,” Colossians 3:22-23 ESV

Red Writer said that he is a recovering people pleaser. He talked about how part of being a H.I.M. (High Impact Man) is rejecting passivity. It’s easy for us as men to either check out of the mundane things or shrink back from the things that make us feel intimidated, pressured and afraid. But as men we must refuse to be passive and live our life on purpose and with greater purpose. That greater purpose is always found when we lift our heads up out of our boredom and stress, and see that we have a Heavenly Father and His gaze is always on us. He sees our weakness, he sees our frustration, he sees our fear; and He still loves us. His gaze and his unconditional love is the fuel that drives us in the mundane and the stress, to stay engaged and reject passivity.

“I always feel it well just to put a few words of prayer between everything I do” -Spurgeon

– Proverbs 3:31 Don’t envy violent people or copy their ways (NLT)
– Do not model your behavior after people with poor reaction to emotional or bad circumstances. We have all been there and we have all reacted poorly whether it be a violent use of language in traffic or at home or whenever but remember that this bleeds over into our family and others we are influencing. We are human and make mistakes but try to take a breath amidst the scurry and ask for humility, patience, and strength along with God’s mercy and grace. We are all a high impact man to someone!
