Day 233– Humble yourself before God humbles you.
Today’s Reading: Ezekiel 26 – 30
Ezekiel 28:4-7 “By your wisdom and understanding you have gained wealth for yourself and amassed gold and silver in your treasuries. By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, and because of your wealth your heart has grown proud. “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “‘Because you think you are wise, as wise as a god, I am going to bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless of nations; they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom and pierce your shining splendor.”
I’ve always loved to work hard, always tried to do the very best I could at everything I’ve done. However, I learned long ago, that whatever I do, I need to do what the Lord wants me to and do it for Him. For instance, my writing, I’d not do it if it were up to me, I’d rather not. Ive never been an acclaimed writer, but God uses it. Honestly, I only write so others may know Him and He may be Glorified. I don’t want to be a writer. Then theirs the “work” I do, I promise, that’s not me either. My goal is to bring beauty from whatever Jesus puts in front of me. Any need, any one, and I’m there. This is definitely not for me to feel better or to help me in any way, truthfully, I do this because God speaks to me Every. Single. Time.
Micah 6:8 says, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
This is what Christ requires of us. Nothing more, nothing less, just this, Seek Justice, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly with God. But if we claim the work we’ve done for ourselves, that we’ve accomplished it, then God will step in and accomplish it for us! And that my friends is not fun. So humble yourself before God humbles you. Seek Him first, see what it is He wants from you, and then work with all your might to glorify Him.
