Humility: forgiveness, faith, & obedience

Morning: Psalms 97, 99, 100; Habakkuk 3:1-18; James 3:1-12
When you are humble, you don’t know it.  The path to humility, Jesus teaches, is through forgiveness, faith and obedience.  When you forgive someone, even many times, they don’t owe you … you are not their master but their servant; even Jesus came offering forgiveness … “not to be served, but to serve.”  And faith acknowledges God’s greatness ... we trust a power beyond our own.  While obedience is being true to your nature … You cannot put God in your debt, saying, “I served others, now I deserve special privilege,” because serving others is the natural thing to do.
