Embracing Humility: A Path to Divine Strength in Modern Times Dear Friends, In a world where pride and power reign, and where striving hearts are bound by strain, there lies a path that is serene and true—a humble way, in God's view. God loves the spirit meek and low, and in quiet hearts, His favor flows. In humbleness, we're free to see the strength within our frailty. If we are humble, nothing can wound our core, for in knowing ourselves, we seek more than earthly praise or fleeting fame. Instead, we seek God's own love, His holy name. To know oneself is to see the least, to esteem not high but to find release. In sober judgment, clear and bright, we walk in grace, in truth, and in light. Obedience swift, without delay, as Jesus walked His humble way. In every step, with heart sincere, we follow Christ, His voice we hear. For God, unfailing, stands by those whose humble spirit overflows. He lifts the lowly, sustains the weak, His power strong in all who seek. In the fierce survival's daily race, humility reveals God's grace. We find our peace and our true delight in walking humbly in His sight. So let us strive not for the best in worldly terms or vain contests but seek the path of meek and mild, in God's own love, His humble child. In this modern life, where competition often drives us, humility offers a countercultural way. It is not about passivity or a lack of ambition but a balanced perspective where one's identity and worth are rooted in God's love and purpose. This divine approach provides inner peace, ethical living, resilience, and a sense of community. By embracing humility, we align with divine wisdom and eternal values, navigating the pressures of modern life with grace and integrity. Blessings, Pastor Steven G. Lee (June 17, 2024)
