The concept of humility, of a submissive lifestyle implies the divine, implies something worth of submission and devotion. In fact, that's part of the definition of divine. According to Dictionary.com, divine can be defined as "pertaining to a god, especially the Supreme Being;" "devoted to God or sacred" (as in divine worship); or even "proceeding from God" (as in divine laws). So as believers we humbly submit to our divine Father by obeying His laws through our worship.
But humility and divinity also imply sovereignty. To be sovereign means to have supreme rank, power, and authority; it describes a person above all others in character, importance, and excellence (Dictionary.com). Sounds like our "Supreme Being," right? At least that's a description I would ascribe to my Divinity. And a divine being of sovereignty is definitely worthy of my submission and humility!
