So you think you’re a know it all …
I was recently humbled by someone …
I have been frustrated by people who choose not to do things they are quite capable of doing and by others complaining of things they should do but don’t necessarily want to.
What humbled me was this: God gives each of us certain capabilities; strengths & weakenesses. Some he gives a lot, some a little, so who am I to judge what some can and cannot do.
Just because some people don’t think or act as I would does not make them a less than, it just makes them different. Maybe they are lazy, incomeptant, taking advantage, selfish … whatever.
What matters is that no matter what I think, I am disqualifying what GOD can do in the situation when I brag on what I think they should do just because I would do it.
It doesn’t matter what I would do. What matters is that I recognize that these people (who happen to annoy the hell out of me) are created differently from myself and have a different lesson to learn than I myself have to learn. If I project my life lessons onto them, then I am being prideful and arrogant.
God will humble the proud. It looks like this:
HUMILIATION
You choose.
I promise … I won’t laugh when He does.
