Our dependance on God is to be unceasing,
absolute, and universal - no wiggle room here! How often I cease
depending on God and try to do things myself, by my power and might -
shameful!
I owe everything to God and that my only response
to this should be me emptying myself and finding in Him my chief care,
my highest virtue, my only happiness.
That I am not living a life in Christ once and for all, but each moment continuously - WOW!
Pride - don't get me started - too much to say on how much I need to work on this area!
"His
humility is our salvation. His salvation is our humility." Did you
hear the crack of lightening - such a rich statement, may the Lord be
pleased to write this on my heart and bring it to my mind often!
I
am convicted by the sentence, "God has so constituted us as reasonable
beings, that the truer the insight into the real nature or the absolute
need of a command, the readier and fuller will be our obedience to it."
Lord, I pray for insight into my need for humility that I may obey your
commands. I pray that I would make seeking humility a priority in my
time, actions, thoughts, and words.
I think if I truly understood humility
and my need for it, I would spend my time differently, speak
differently, pray differently.
that is all
