Dear TDY, today is day 3 of consecration, "... will humble themselves..." I don't know about you but this speaks so much to me. Sometimes, I do think that I am better than others but the Lord reminded me that we are all different, we all have different giftings and the main purpose is to bless the body of Christ.
I was then brought to Psalm 51:16-17 "Going through the motions doesn't please you, a flawless performance is nothing to you. I learned God-worship when my pride was shattered. Heart-shattered lives ready for love don't for a moment escape God's notice." (The Message bible)
The thing that made David great to me, was a heart of humility. Each time he was seeking the Lord, he would humble himself. Don't you think this is something worth reflecting on in our lives?
In John 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." (TNIV)
Do spend some time seeking the Lord to show you the areas which you have not been humble.
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking out for your own interests but each of you to the interests of others." Philippians 2:3-4
It's all about Jesus, it's all by His grace that He has given to us for without Him, we can do nothing. David knew that- a humble heart, a heart that is prepared to let God take over and make it His sanctuary.
Love, JJB
