But who are we to tell God how to run his affairs?
He’s dealing with matters that are way over our heads.
ROMANS 12:16 (CEB)
Consider everyone as equal, and don’t think that you’re better than anyone else. Instead, associate with people who have no status. Don’t think that you’re so smart.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
If you embrace God, you will also embrace humility.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for embodying humility through the Son who stepped down to live and die among us so that together we might experience his resurrection. All the important things in life are fueled by humility. I confess, though, that I'm still inclined to do whatever it takes to protect my territory -- including huffing and strutting as though I'm some VIP. Show me a new way of getting life done -- a new way that is fully in line with the Jesus way. I'm going to pour my energy into elevating others instead of defending my own position. Amen.
