Humility
This was a great lesson. Up until these past few months, I thought I was an ok humble person. God thought otherwise. The last few months have been very humbling and more times than not I've been on my knees asking for understanding, help, being a peacekeeper, and forgiveness. Through this process I have become stronger and closer to God. One of my favorite quotes this week was "When God ordained the humbling you can be wholly certain that His love is the catalyst.
Kelly used various verses that talked about being humbled and compared them to Ruth. Ruth had to get over her own feelings and emotions and was beyond humble. She was at her lowest and she refused to let her pride take over. She was willing to do anything to help out her family. God honored her for humbling herself.
That is the one thing that stood out in all the verses referenced. Everytime you read a verse about being humble it it followed by an action. God will reward us for taking action.
I need to look at being humbled as a learning process. I don't want to stay where I'm at in my spritual life. I want to grow.
Lord, help me to be encouraged during my humbling seasons. Even though they are tough and I don't always understand, help me to remember that there is joy. peace and growth at the end.
