Good morning people who walk humbly

Sometimes we learn lessons the easy way and sometimes we learn lessons the hard way. Humility is one of life’s lessons that we will learn. The only question is will we humble ourselves or will God humble us?

Matthew 23:12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

James 4:6b God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

I was recently humbled by God because I didn’t humble myself. God stood in my way with a large STOP sign and said, “It’s time to deal with this now Steve”.

I then had a choice. I either react against God’s intervention or embrace it as the actions of a loving Father who disciplines the ones He loves. I have chosen to see the fingerprints of God at this time and I want to move forward as He has instructed us in this passage.

Hebrews 12:11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

I want to be trained by the discipline of a loving God. I want it to produce a harvest of righteousness and peace.

I pray that if this word of encouragement is for you today, that you embrace it and that you humble yourself
