Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up. James 4:10 NIV Bible
Well, that is a very significant question! I think that deep down, I think I'm being humble, but is that actually so? Every time I pray to the Lord and ask Him to do this specific thing for me, for someone else, or for the world, I'm really not being humble. Somehow, I get it into my head that I think I know what is best for me, for someone else, and for the world! That's pretty arrogant, if you ask me!
I forget to ask the Lord God to take care of the situation, but not ask Him to do it the way that I've already pre-determined is the best way. I need to remember that when the Lord God doesn't do it the way that I think is best, isn't best. I'm talking about the Lord God, Who is all-powerful, all-knowing, and is forgiving. So forgiving, that He had His Son, Jesus Christ, give His life on the cross to save us from our sins, if we ask Him.
So, where do I get off thinking that I know what is best in any of these situations? Even though this has been on my heart lately, I find myself slipping back into that same routine. Unfortunately, that routine feels too comfortable, that I don't even realizing that's what I'm doing. I'm so very sorry that I have taken advantage of my Lord and Savior this way! I pray that the Lord God humbles my soul, so that I get off my high horse, and let Him be in charge, for only He knows what way is best!
