Augustine of Hippo, a fifth-century bishop and theologian, wrote, “The way to Christ is first through humility, second through humility, third through humility. If humility does not precede and accompany and follow every good work we do, if it is not before us to focus on, if it is not beside us to lean upon, if it is not behind us to fence us in, pride will wrench from our hand any good deed we do at the very moment we do it.”
We're called to be humble. Like the Tim McGraw tune, it ought to permeate our lives. James reminds us: "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you."
Lord, may we walk humbly with you in this life!
