There is a song lyric that my 89-year-old father sings quite regularly with a wry smile… ”Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble – perfect in every way.” Although he enjoys this little tune, he knows that the art of humility is one that is easily admired and much more difficult to attain.
Good athletes are those with fine skills while great athletes possess both fine skills and the knowledge that they can be better. A well-balanced athlete recognizes their strengths, limitations and dependency which altogether allows humility to flourish.
Humility happens when we recognize our dependency on God's mighty hand…Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7
PERFECTLY HUMBLE living means working on our weaknesses rather than flaunting our strengths.
"A proud and avaricious person never rests, whereas one who is poor and humble of heart lives in a world of peace." Thomas à Kempis
“When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags.” Isaiah 64:6 NLT
Today let’s place our good deeds in the RAG bag of humility by…
Recognizing our weakness…our righteousness is only half of the story.
Admitting our need…be vulnerable before God and others.
Getting help…from the One who cares most – and He will lift you up!
TO BE PERFECTLY HUMBLE USE THE "RAG" BAG!
