YOUR ATTITUDE TO CARRY ON

The attitude of disciples who are growing in holy, whole, and wholehearted living is rooted in humility.

Humble people do not live in timidity and fear, thinking and living small because they fear they might steal God’s glory. God is not afraid of us stealing anything from Him. God’s not afraid, period. So neither should we be, as image bearers of a holy God.

Humble hearts belong to people who have been so wrecked by God’s love that they are willing to allow Him to extinguish all the selfish, burning desires of their hearts so they can live according to the Spirit. They know that their flesh, apart from God’s presence, is grossly destructive but that their body, partnered with God’s presence, is wonderfully powerful!

Humble-hearted people fear one thing: the absence of God. This is why David, a man after God’s own heart, a mighty and humble warrior, cried out for two things: (1) that he could be in God’s presence and (2) that God would never take away His presence.

When you have an attitude of humility, you are willing to learn and grow as God works within you, even when He challenges you to overcome your spirit of fear and timidity. God will ensure that you come face-to-face with what frightens you most. It’s His way of showing you that fear has always been an illusion projected onto the walls of your unbelieving heart.

Do not be afraid!

His saving love will deliver you, moving you from where you are now to where He wants you to go. His ways will not be comfortable, but they will be best.

Reflect:

Describe your secret place where you meet with the Lord. What does it look like for you to go there?
