I was challenged this week to consider how I am doing in regards to humility. A hard thing to ask yourself. Am I being humble as I serve and lead worship every week? How do I balance confidence and humility? I have to pray that I will live and walk in humility as I serve. I should use Christ as my example when in his most humiliating time on the cross demonstrated the most powerful event in all eternity. God can only use us to do amazing things if we humble ourselves and exalt him. And in that humility we will become like Him. It's a beautiful thing!!
Philippians 2:7-8
7b but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!
Ralph Waldo Emerson: A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.
