Humility

 As professing believers when did we stop seeing God's hand at work? When did we become skeptics?  How many of us have left the house late for an appointment only to travel a few miles down the road and see a horrific accident and said, "God was looking out for me"? How did we develop a "deist" view of God and believe he is just sitting up there twiddling His fingers? How many of us demand answers, but refuse to assume, whatever; our issue may be was filtered through God's hands? When did we stop looking to and for God?

1 Peter 5:6 says to "humble yourselves", but the whole world tells us that is ridiculous. Humble having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance. I dare say I'd be hard pressed to find a Christian who is willing to humble themselves. As we've been told, "There ain't nobody buying that." Really!!! Philippians 2 says that was the example Christ gave us,  "he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!" Shouldn't our lives reflect Him?

What if I truly humbled myself, acknowledged my sin, and waited on the mighty hand of God to exalt me? I want to see a move of God! Perhaps it needs to start with humbly thinking He is in control!
