“As the excellence of steel is strength, and the excellence of art is
beauty, so the excellence of mankind is moral character.” –A.W. Tozer
Often we expect to face trials in life’s hard seasons, but
your trial may actually come in an easier season. You get a promotion, and pride has buy into the idea that it
was mostly your wit and hard work that helped you to it. You are afforded free time, but you
spend it in sloth. The Bible says,
“Every good thing comes from God” (Jas 1:17). The question I pose is: When you are blessed, what is your
response? Thankfulness is obviously
essential, but thankfulness is more than empty words; thankfulness is a way of
life. In other words, who you
truly are has less to do with what you say and more to do with how
you live.
Therefore humble
yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty
hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you (1 Peter 5:6,
AMP).
