The Daily Blueprint for 11-1-07
Let Him Lift You Up
James 4:10
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,
And He shall lift you up!
Welcome to a new month - its November! That means CHRISTmas is not that far way - this year the theme will be UNTO US.... Stay tuned......................
Today's verse talks about being humble! Are you humble? Being humble in the here and now is not in style - the world equates being humble with being weak - and yet JESUS was the strongest One that has ever walked this world and He was humble -its easy to go with the flow -and not live against the grain on this world - but we must be humble if we are to serve the Lord- When we give our lives to Him we cannot boast about ourselves and what we have done - but must turn our focus toward God and others and away from ourselves! We all have been bitten by the what's in it for me bug- and sadly its gotten into our churches and into our relationships - You cannot have a good relationship with anyone if you are not willing to be humble - we must let God lift us up -He is the only way - praise for ourselves should not come from our own lips - we must be concerned about what others think - but sadly many do - being humble is all about giving to someone else before yourselves - not trying to gain anything by lip service but through actual submitance to those placed over you -not fighting for your rights is a humble way of life -no one likes someone who brags about themselves - God wants to use us as Salt and Light in the world around us - we must be humble or else we won't be either one - once you come to know Christ -your life is no longer your own -you place yourself under God's authority! We must be humble to serve the Lord!
its not about us -but its all about HIM! Let Him lift you up!
a side note: When we allow God to work in our lives are we willing to forgo what we want ? We must be humble to submit!
PRAYERS * PRAISES * PREVIEWS:
