Chocolate For Sunday 01/25/09

Humility-"the willingness to submit" James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

It is sometimes hard to remain humble when you have done something "good"; harder still is when you feel you did a great job. It often seems after a moment of greatness there is a series of moments when you feel small and easily embarrassed. How do we deal with moments of humility?

We have to humble ourselves even more. It is not always easy to understand what that means, humble yourselves even more. I believe we are to go to our Lord in prayer and ask Him to humble our hearts and our minds. We have to ask him to take away our pride and instead fill us with a desire to be less in order to do more for him. How can we know what He wants us to do for His kingdom, if we are only worried about our lives and how we look.

Humility is hard for everyone to learn and at times even harder to accept. But if we remain his faithful servant; he will not only show us how to be humble, he will lift us up while we are being humbled.
