You're Low

“God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong, and God chose the lowly and despised of the world, those who count for nothing, to reduce to nothing those who are something, so that no human being might boast before God.”

-1 Corinthians 27b-29

 

In this case, being low isn’t such a bad thing.  All good things come from God, but it’s easier to believe when those that seem incapable of doing great things do great things.  They (people like us) couldn’t do great things alone, so it must be a miracle when things go right.  It must be God in control.  Yesterday’s quote talked about how God takes revenge, we don’t take revenge ourselves on those who do wrong, but in some situations, God may work through us or other people to humble the proud.  We can’t volunteer ourselves for that job, but we can be open to it if God calls our number.
