…but god… Episode 178
Transcript
“And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God is opposed to the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.”
1 Peter 5:4-5 NASB2020
God has given great gifts to us all. It is only human to be proud of the gifts God has given us right? Nope!
We did not do anything to deserve those gifts. Be humble with the gifts God has given! Humility is the best way to be witnesses for Christ. James explains the importance of humility this way!
“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”
James 4:10 NIV
As we know Jesus humbled himself time and time again. Early in His ministry how often did He tell the ones He healed to “tell nobody”. He always gave credit to the Father. As must we. Jesus humbled himself so much he went to the cross for us, died for our sins, yesterday, today and forever. All we have and will forever have is given to us by our good and gracious Heavenly Father. Therefore, humbly share what God has done on the cross, what he did through the resurrection and allow God to work in and through you.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2 NIV
Good and gracious Heavenly Father. We praise and thank you for the many incredible gifts you have blessed us with. Lord help us to run the race with humility and grace so that your Name alone may be glorified In Jesus name Amen…
Shalom, Shalom Blessings Press In And Press On!
