That sounds obscene. At least to the >culture of self-promotion and "get ahead at all cost" and >"don't look back, the competition is gaining on you" it sounds >obscene. Humility is a forgotten virtue. Often confused with >weakness or timidity, humility is about knowing our proper >place in the world without flaunting it. Only God can exalt in >a permanent way, so the key is to know our place before him and >let him put us in the place he chooses to honor him. > > > >MY PRAYER... > Abba Father, Most Holy God, thank you for allowing me into >your presence. When I think of all that you have done, the >incredible universe you have made and hold together by your >word, I am amazed you invite me into your presence and care >about my words. Thank you for knowing me and having a plan for >my life to please you. Help me this day to glorify you in what >I do. Through Jesus I pray. Amen. >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written >by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: >http://www.crosswalkmail.com/fxqqg_ndrxdhx.html >----------- >HEARTLIGHT is a non-profit organization and needs >your help!
