HUMILITY OR ARROGANCE?
“Nothing is more hostile to spiritual growth than arrogance, and nothing is more conducive to spiritual growth than humility. We need to humble ourselves before the infinite God, acknowledging the limitations of our human mind (that we could never find him by ourselves), and acknowledging our own sinfulness (that we could never reach him by ourselves). Jesus called this the humility of a little child. God hides himself from the wise and clever, he said, but reveals himself to ‘babies’ (Mt. 11:25). He was not denigrating our minds, for God has given them to us. Rather he was indicating how we are to use them. The true function of the mind is not to stand in judgment on God’s word, but to sit in humility under it, eager to hear it, grasp it, apply it and obey it in the practicalities of daily living.” – John Stott Daily Thought
