Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.

Since my college days, I’ve been trying to be more aware of my blind spots. One of those blind spots back then for me (among many…and I’m still trying to identify my blind spots) was pride. These days, I have to always be on the lookout for pride — is it trying to fly under the radar again on me? Am I not seeing it in myself? Is what I’m doing helpful to someone else? What are my motives?
I say this because I remember the times when the LORD got a hold of me and had to humble me big time. I recall some days in college when it took a Big 10 Championship to make me happy…and then by the end of my senior year, a blooming flower could lift me up. The humbling process that the LORD takes us through can be very painful. I try to avoid it.
