Lesson 1 : Humility is essential for any Christian's walk with God

November 1, 2013

Today is a very pretty day, the sun is bright the sky is very blue with no lining of clouds. I am sitting alone in the family room ( it is very rare that I get to sit alone this time of day specially in the family room...it's 4:40pm). Today, I learned that I had taken my life style for granted. It took a trip to a really busy area of the city to help me see what I haven't thanked God for. I saw little kids, kids almost half my age working to make ends meet. I saw people working so hard despite their age, because I saw both young and old laboring. I felt very uncomfortable to the point that I almost got a headache. I told the person who took me there to get me out. To my defense the area didn't have an inviting odor. I just wanted to leave that place as soon as possible. Then I thought, what if God had wanted to use me in that place, what would my response be? Hours later, I am sitting back comfortably in our family room  and I am recognizing that I need to be more humble. The Lord needs to work on me! Dear God I thank You for all that You have given me. I thank You that my parents worked Hard so that my siblings and I don't get to see the poverty I saw today. God, You are so worthy of all my praises.

   

"If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land" 2 Chronicles 7:14

"He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way." Psalms 25:9

" Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."1 Peter 5:5
