Humble

Yesterday, in our monthly meeting we were talking about humbleness. We were analyzing why bad things happened to good people, why sometimes we have to go through so hard times? I am sure that even the happiest person in this world has been going through hard situation from time to time in their lives.  We definitely, do not have an answer for; why babies die before they even born, why good people had accidents and cannot walk anymore, or why good people get cancer and have to suffer so much and sometimes even die.

Things happened for a good God’s reason, I truly believe that when bad things happened to me is for two reasons; God wants to teach me some lesson and is protecting me from something or because I choose do things in the hard way. To be honest, I think must of the time bad things happened to us, because we choose take the hard way to do things. I got couple of examples to share.

Lets said that you get married with someone, and you married without love, married just for money, or just married to not stay alone.  How do you think will be that marriage? Then we tend to blame everybody else except ourselves that put ourselves in that situation. Another example, you want a house, and work hard to get a house, the bank approves you a limit for you to buy the house. What do you do? Do you buy the expensive, nicer, and bigger one that will put you at the borderline of your budget and even past the limits? Or you try to fine one that will be easy for you to make the payments, even though is not that pretty or big? Most of us will choose the bigger and expensive one, and we live in a tight budget or just simply don’t have money for nothing. Then, why? why God is so bad to me? Why He does not give the money that I need? Another example lets say that you have

Definitely no always we have control of a sickness or an accident or things that goes bad in our live, but very often we do have the option to choose wisely our alternatives.  God gives us the power of free will, how do you use this power.  Definitely, I sometimes abuse of this power, and lead me through hard times.  We have to choose our options in a humble position, asking and trusting in God in a humble sense, to guide us through the right path.

1 Peter 5:5-7

⁵ Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” ⁶ Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, ⁷ casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
