Step-by-Step to a Greater Spiritual Level
What leader today would accept people's faults?
What leader today turned into a leader due to their humility?
What electorate today would vote for somebody showing humility?
What God admires is humbleness. Being humble is in the grasp of each one of us, whether we are wonderfully gifted or good looking or whether we devalue our own capabilities or lack confidence. A technique to be humble is to recollect past failings.The apostle Paul did this, bitterly regretting his persecution of the church. Paul could have been the best of the apostles, but he called himself the least.
Some of the best men of religion were those that recalled their faults through their lives. In truth it was actually the memory of these faults that produced a meekness which made them spiritually great. Infrequently God led to difficulty and suffering in follower's lives to help them be humble. Rather we should have a healthy appreciation of our constraints, and behave like we appreciate them.
One behavior pattern that doesn't help is that of comparing ourselves with others. 'Oh, we are aren't as bad as so-and-so.' So-and-so may be selected because we will be able to simply match them. Meekness with excellence is amazing to behold. Power and strength in the hands of the kind and mild is incredible. Data and understanding only used for good is really good information and true understanding. Only God achieves this. The genuine gentle giant. Praise Him alone and not oneself. Christ showed the way.
'Don't call me good. No one is good but God'. Compared to God, we are bits of dust and ash. We are like ants. Less than a worm. So why should we boast? Step one to non secular highness is thru our humble lowness. This step is one which we must all take.
