Sunday Lessons: When God wants to humble us, He will.

"Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done

and what I had toiled to achieve,

everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;

nothing was gained under the sun."

                              - Ecclesiastes 2:11

Sometimes, like King Solomon, it takes having everything to realize that we really have nothing.

Sometimes we can get too caught up in ourselves―in our riches, in our achievements, in our abilities, and we forget that we have what we have because it was given to us. We know because He gave us wisdom. We can because He made us able.

Now that a new year is about to begin, I'm giving myself a new challenge: to practice humility to the best that I could, as often as I could, because all I am and all I have is His.

“Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.”
