Please Take A Seat and Have a Piece of Humble Pie
One trait mention in the bible is humility. Moses, one of the greatest prophets that lead his people to freedom with power from God was also known to be a very humble person. Jesus was also humble. He walked most places and worked as a carpenter. He did not own a house, horse, or donkey. He came to give people salvation and demonstrated that salvation is free for everyone. He tells us that vanity is a sin.
Often he tells us not to give ourselves or others flattering titles. We are all sisters and brothers in Christ. Reflect: Can you think of a time you may have hurt someone’s feelings (and you were wrong) but did not apologize because of vanity and pride?
That type of behavior keeps us from agreeing with God when we are wrong. It keeps us from repenting. The good news is that the Lord gives us his spirit, Holy Spirit, so we may have his grace to do better. Amen.
Luke 17:10 “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.”
