Let Go My Ego

To humble yourself, in a scriptural sense is to put yourself down. No, not pick at or condemn yourself but to place yourself in a posture of service and surrender.

Height is the issue when falling! Not too deep , huh? but think about it.......if their is no distance between you and the ground you can't hurt yourself when you fall, in fact you can't fall. We get humiliated by circumstances because we have been lifted up by pride. Got to let go my ego! Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. If I won't humble myself, the Lord will use some other method to bring me low.

1 Peter 5:6-7
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Notice the colon in verse 6, the next verse is a continuation of the thought. You humble yourself by throwing all of your care upon him! So keeping care, the shouldering blame, being weighed down with worry, speaks to one condition...... pride! You humble yourself, note that no one else is contracted to do it for you. You bring all of your cares, all of your intentions, all of your dreams and you lay them and you, in one package before the Lord Jesus Christ! Humility is not weakness but total surrender.

Life goes so much smoother if you let go and let God have his wonderful way!

In fact the word "let" is found throughout the process of surrender. Nothing will happen until we let it. God doesn't have control of any part of our lives until we hand it over. Our life in God is UP in the air until we lay it down!
