Lessons on Humility

Characters live to be noticed. People of character notice how they live. – N. Moser

Jesus said we should do our ‘acts of righteousness’ not to be seen of men but God; that is if we expect to receive a reward. Hmm!

They usher themselves before us everyday via the news, social media/internet, magazines, radio, etc. News releases of some celebrity and their bid for a bit more recognition for their 'contribution' to society. And admittedly, a lot of us live for such news, and also admittedly, a lot of us live so to bring about such news a

bout ourselves. Accomplishments should be lauded and celebrated as the blessings they are, not who they make us to be. Granted our lives are not to be lived in seclusion or inconspicuously, but we are called to be known by the ‘fruit we bear’ not by the horn we toot or flag we wave, after all God has said, “not even a sparrow falls to the ground without His notice.”

Until tomorrow…..
