“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect.” 1 Cor. 15:10

The way we continually talk about our own inability is an insult to the Creator. The deploring of our own incompetence is a slander against God for having overlooked us.
Get into the habit of examining - in the sight of God - the things that sound humble before men. You will be amazed at how staggeringly impertinent they are.

  • "Oh, I shouldn't like to say I am sanctified; I'm not a saint."
Say that before God; and it means-
  • "No, Lord, it is impossible for You to save and sanctify me;
  • There are chances I have not had;
  • So many imperfections in my brain and body;
  • No, Lord, it isn't possible."
That may sound wonderfully humble before men,
  • Before God it is an attitude of defiance.
Again,
  • The things that sound humble before God may sound the opposite before men.
To say,
  • Thank God, I know I am saved and sanctified is in the sight of God the essence of humility,
  • It means you have so completely abandoned yourself to God that you know He is true.
Never bother your head as to whether what you say sounds humble before men or not,
  • Always be humble before God, and let Him be your all in all .
There is only one relationship that matters,
  • That is your personal relationship to a personal Redeemer and Lord.
Let everything else go, but maintain that at all costs,
  • God will fulfill His purpose through your life.
One individual life may be of priceless value to God's purposes, and yours may be that life.

Pastor Dick
