The message is very clear in Psalm 138:6.
Vanity is our enemy.
Humility is our friend.
And life has proven to us that we need all the friends we can get.
Here’s the psalmist’s take on God’s will in this regard:
“Though the Lord is great, He cares for the humble, but He keeps His distance from the proud.”
Proud people think and act as if they don’t need God.
“I got this,” is the prevailing attitude when the opportunity comes to the choice of shining the spotlight on themselves or upon others.
We can tell when somebody thinks he or she is better than us, doesn’t want our help and doesn’t want us around.
God can, too.
Please, join me in the prayer for humility and clear vision as to the undeniable inadequacies that we all possess, shortfalls that should remind us to run to the One whose grace and wisdom and strength can lift and lead us to a better place.
I want to be with God. And so I want to be more humble.
I hope you do, too.
As always, I love you
Martin
