      We can be humble and contrite as the ones the Lord is seeking to build His house with, but this will not guarantee that we will not fall into the same traps as others have. Being humble and contrite is a good foundation for the other qualities we need, but there is more needed. Our trust cannot be in our humility but in God, whom alone we must follow.

      We follow Him by knowing His voice and only responding to His voice (see John 10) and by staying filled with His Spirit, who has been sent to lead us into all truth. All truth is in the Truth, Jesus. To be His dwelling place, we must grow up into Him.

      So, humility is required to stay on course. True humility is first the understanding that without Him, we can do nothing. With this knowledge, we will be far less prone to try anything without Him. Let us always keep in mind that, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (see James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5). There is no treasure on earth as valuable as God’s grace, and one definition of humility would be to keep that foremost in our minds and hearts. Arrogance and presumption are deadly enemies. These caused the first fall and almost every one since. Humility is not the path of life, but it is how we stay on it.   READ MORE
