“Do you want to stand out? Then step down. Be a servant.
If you puff yourself up, you’ll get the wind knocked out of you.
But if you’re content to simply be yourself, your life will count for plenty.
Matthew 23:12 (The Message)
The Bible says "God goes against the willful proud" (James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5).
The boundary is the vice versa, "Those who are not willing to be humble goes against God".
This formula is for us and is apparent (plain as the nose on your face).
There is not even a pinch of obscurity (difficulty to understand).
The deadly infections than Corona Virus are your
Spiritual arrogance, Family honour, Self gratification, Racial chauvinism.
Spiritual arrogance, Family honour, Self gratification, Racial chauvinism.
Don't puff yourself up about them. Don't stand out for it.
Those who willingly step down and be a servant for God will stand out with the grace of God.
Let's be content (humble ourselves) and let our life count for plenty (honoured outstandingly).
Translation by Frank Annan
Amen. God bless the Humble...
