Humility Plays the Leading Role

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:5

Recommended Reading Philippians 2:5-11

If
there were ever an example of true humility, it was in the life and
ministry of Jesus Christ. He understood how important this virtue was
to His heavenly Father. In fact, He became God's demonstration to
believers of how humility is more important than ability. You see, God
knew that in order for mankind to be forgiven of their sins once and
for all, a sacrifice would have to be made. A life would have to be
taken in order for our lives to be saved. Now here is where humility
plays the leading role. Jesus humbled himself and came down to
humanity's level in order to permanently atone for all of our sins, and
it was precisely His humility that allowed God to use Him as the
perfect sacrifice.

In the same way,
if we desire to be used by God, all we have to do is be humble and
allow Him to work through us. Our abilities or lack thereof are of
little significance when God is looking for a humble spirit to use.
Sometimes, being of use to God is a matter of our attitude rather than
our aptitude. So, let humility play the leading role in your life and
watch as God uses you in ways you never dreamed.

The sufficiency of my merit is to know that my merit is not sufficient.
St. Augustine
