Laundry, of course, was done. Pancakes and Chocolate Chip Cookies, compliments of Joanne Fluke's yummy recipe, were baked before eleven o'clock in the morning. Catching up on reading. Worked on a project and did a little homework. Didn't do some things, but okay with the decision to wait a little longer.
Glenn Beck as started a morning devotional with prayer and a scripture, and David Barton offered the prayer and scripture, this morning. I'm so glad they've arranged it so you are able to listen to it later since they broadcast at 7 a.m., that's 4 a.m. my time, and honestly, I'm not awake, usually, at that hour, at least not if I can help it. They're adding to my studies on honor. One of David Barton's scripture references was from Proverbs 22:4 ~ Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life.
Am I humble? I've always had the feeling that if I ever answer 'yes' to that question, then I'm not. That being said, I've also been taught that if one is teachable, then one is humble. I try to be teachable... but now I'm back to my first thought, how do I say yes without sounding arrogant? :-)
Do I fear (love) the Lord? I must remind myself that when the Bible was translated, back in 1611, to fear the Lord meant to love the Lord. Following the teachings of Christ would be a way of showing my love. I recognize that I'm no where near perfect, but I want to believe that I am trying to follow the Savior, a day by day effort.

I would call you humble. Acknowledging truth does not make you unhumble. It makes you honest.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy. I think part of my struggle is knowing that I am all too capable of being arrogant, so now I'm endeavoring to learn to be aware when I cross that line.
ReplyDeleteWho's drawing the line?
ReplyDeleteI suspect that is one of those things we must do for ourselves, with a leaning toward the Golden Rule.
