Humility

In the words of CJ Mahaney...

In Isaiah 66:2 we read these words from the Lord,
This is the one to whom I will look:
he who is humble and contrite in spirit,
and trembles at my word.

This profound passage points us to an altogether
different motivation and purpose for humilty
than we will ever find in the pages of
a secular business manual.
Here we find motivation and purpose rooted
in this amazing fact:
Humility draws the gaze of our Soverign God.

God in His mercy is drawing the Israelites
attention away from their prideful assumption
of privilege as His chosen people and away
from their preoccupation with the trappings
of religion These things don't attract His active
and gracious gaze. But humilty does.

The person who is humble
is the one who draws God's attention,
and in this sense, drawing His attention
means also attracting His grace -
His unmerited kindness. Think about that:
There's something you can do to attract more
of God's gracious, underserved, supernatural strength & assistance!
