living with a purpose: to be humble by ric gustafson
Luke 14:11 says for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Those who want to be the best of the best want to show off their wealth or status. God wants us to think completely the opposite. God wants us to be humble and not full of pride. When we are prideful, we only think of ourselves and not God.
God wants us to be humble, serve others and not think about ourselves. James 4:6 says God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to the humble. We need to be humble, think of others first and give God the glory. Because of God's grace, we have been saved and showered by blessings.
