Exodus 10:3 … ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? …’ (NIV)
God, through Moses, asks Pharaoh this question, and it’s definitely got me thinking this morning: What does it mean to humble yourself before God? And how does one wade through all the noise of this world to ensure that one is humbling oneself before God and not simply acquiescing to the noise of the world?
Exodus 10:3 … ‘How long will you refuse to submit to Me? …’ (NLT)
The more I ponder, the more questions come: If I humble myself before the LORD, is that when His peace descends? So if I’m not at peace, does that mean I have not humbled myself to Him? Jesus, Help me!
Exodus 10:3 … ‘How long will you stubbornly refuse to obey? …’ (CEV)
Lord, Thank You for this day, for this scripture, for the ability to ponder this question. I want to humble myself to You. I want to submit to Your will, but I am afraid of so many things. I know that in You is perfect love and perfect peace. I know that You don’t want me to be afraid. I know that You love those that I love more than I am even capable of loving. Please, Lord Jesus, please help me humble myself before You. Draw us all closer—to You and to each other. Remove this fear. Amen.
Exodus 10:3 … ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself in My presence? …’ (GWT)
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
