BOB PEDEN
Good morning. We seem to live in a “dog eat dog” world; A “get ahead at all costs” society; A "don't look back because the competition is gaining on you" culture of self-promotion. But the Bible tells us in the book of James to “humble ourselves before the Lord, and He will lift us up.”
Humble ourselves? That almost sounds obscene in this world. Humility is a forgotten virtue. Often confused with weakness or timidity, humility is really about knowing our proper place in the world without flaunting it.
This is Bob Peden of Central United Methodist Church saying, “Only God can exalt in a permanent way. The key is to know our place before him and let him put us in the place he chooses.”
