2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Humble
1. having or showing a modest or low estimate of one’s own importance.
2. of low social, administrative, or political rank.
3. (of a thing) of modest pretensions or dimensions.
How is it that such a small word, with a rather simple meaning, becomes such a huge stumbling block for so many people?
Running and asking for help when we are in need sounds like a very logical thing to do. We look at our situation and weigh out the possible positive outcome of us accomplishing a task alone compared to using the advantage of help from someone else. If we can see that with help is the obvious, and quite often the only outcome with a positive end, why wouldn’t we ask for help? Why? Because we are inherently arrogant people. We think we must tackle everything on our own. We become weak when we show any need in our life.
I would like to propose today that humbling does not make one weak. As a matter of fact, it shows strength! It takes a lot of strength to admit you cannot do something alone. You are admitting that there is someone out there who is more capable of handling something. You are admitting you are not GOD!
So take the time today and humble yourself before the real God. Call upon His name and pray. I promise He is ready to help you out and not make you feel like a weak failure for asking for His help!
I know I am not You, Lord. Today, I come to You, humbly asking for your help. ~amen
