Humility by goodshepherd123(m): 5:14pm On Oct 21, 2015 |
Some time ago we heard a short address by a
young preacher during which he quoted the
following, "If you are too big for a little place,
you are too little for a big place."
It is an odd rule of the kingdom of God that
when we try to get big, we always get smaller
by the moment. Humility pleases God
wherever it is found, and the humble person
will have God for his or her friend and helper
always.
"...Yes, all of you be submissive to one
another, and be clothed with humility,for "God
resists the proud, but gives grace to the
humble." —1 Peter 5:5
Only the humble are completely sane, for they
are the only ones who see clearly their own
size and limitations. Egotists see things out
of focus. To themselves they are large and
God is correspondingly small, and that is a
kind of moral insanity.
"Lord, help me never to be too big for a little
place. In humility let me serve and revel in
You as my 'friend and helper always.' Amen."
