What is God teaching me lately? HUMILITY!

After hearing "The Kanye West Guide to Humility" at church a couple of weeks ago, I was interested. By the way, that was the actual title of the sermon. After hearing about it at Family Group this week, God's got my attention.

At some point this semester I stepped down from singing in the praise band. The dynamics weren't working and the band was way too big. God was able to use that as an example, to myself. Weird right? He is pointing out all the times I was humble and all the times (there are many more of these) that I wasn't humble.

For example, I have had two really great conversations with an agnostic friend lately. The frist was about a week ago. It was very shakey. I was caught off guard and did not feel like I had the words to say. The other conversation happened yesterday. It went great. I really felt like God was speaking through me.

What was the difference between these two conversations? Last week, I missed my quiet time. Yesterday, I spent around 30 minutes in the Word. That's the only change. Crazy right? What does this have to do with humility? Obviously, I am NOTHING without God. I have no words to speak. I can have no impact on the world, unless I am allowing God to impact me. Humility at its best.

You have no idea how much this is rocking my world. I am now intentionally looking for God in my world. It's amazing all the places He keeps showing up in.

"He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither..." Psalm 1:3
