How Much More Humble?

When we recognize God’s goodness, we should grow more joyful and more humble.   #daybydaylw   Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ?

We have Jesus, who disrobed himself of all the trappings of eternal majesty and glory and took on the form of a servant, became obedient unto death, unto death on a cross as a despised and dirty criminal. He didn’t just bring the offering to the mercy seat that would atone for sin, He was the offering Himself! Forgiveness won for the repentant. Eternity secured for the believer. Hope gained for the weak! Adoption papers signed in the blood of Jesus. Peace secured. Wrath averted! Victory over sin made possible. Death and hell avoided. Life and Liberty accomplished! Why shouldn’t we rejoice??!! When a person grows in understanding all that God has done on behalf of the believer, that person’s humility deepens, and their expressions become fuller. What we must do is examine what see in the pages of scripture against our own lives. Is there humble, full rejoicing in our lives? Will that mean that sometimes people break out in dancing in the aisles? I sure hope so! Will it mean people will shed quiet tears of joy and awe? YEs! Will there be high fives and bear hugs, and loud singing and shouts of praise? There should be! Hoops and Hollers? Bring it on! All of this and perhaps more, done with all our might—but watch this—all done with growing expressions of humility, and all done before the LORD. Coram Deo. Which spills out into the everydayness of our lives.
