• Devotional for our walk

  This is a short insert from the "Every man, God's man workbook.

  I am going to start posting little gems that I read on this site so that God may bless you with them as well.

  ...Being God's man will never be easy, but those who have passed the test did so because they successfully overcame the opinions of others, successfully fought their own feelings and weaknesses of character, and successfully contended with spiritual opposition. Abraham of the Old Testament was God's man.  pg55

  ...Humility doesn't save a man eternally, but it sure saves him a ton of grief. Humility doesn't change a man's circumstances, but it helps him see God's purposes. Humility doesn't speed up answers to prayer, but it accelerates acceptance of God's will. Humility doesn't make decisions for a man, but it weights his heart toward decisions consistent with God's plan. Humility doesn't earn a man more of God's love, but it helps him experience God's love at a deeper level. Scripture piles it on when it comes to the subject of humility.

  How can you tell if you have significant humility in your character? (this is a personal question but if you would like to comment on it you are more than welcome. God just might give you the insight for someone elses benefit.)
