Humility: knowing one's proper place
Sunday when I decided to flee to the Cleve(land), I listened to Mark Driscoll's thoughts on Humility. He spoke of how while some anxiety is caused by mental disorder, most often it is caused from one trying to be God- namely by trying to imitate his incommunicable attributes of omniscience and sovereignty.
Oh, straight to the heart! How often do I plan my life for myself and try to know every little detail? How often do I try to keep a watchful eye on things to make sure everything goes exactly as I planned or want?
Truly He is God and I am not. This is my plea for humility. Lord, thy rod and thy staff comfort me.
"But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." James 4:6
