Yesterday we talked about humility and the need for it in our lives. We discussed the need to acknowledge the way Jesus carried Himself with humility while on earth. At the risk of seeming uncool I would like to type out the words of a hymn that we sang yesterday. If we look at the words and apply them, it is a perfect fit for how we ought to live day by day.
Have Thine own way Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me, after Thy will
While I am waiting, yielded and still.
Have Thine own way Lord! Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master Today!
Whiter than snow Lord, Wash me just now
As in Thy presence Humbly I bow.
Have Thine own way Lord! Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary, Help me I pray!
Power all power-surely is Thine
Touch me and heal me Savior divine!
Have Thine own way Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o'er my being Absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit Till all shall see!
Christ only, always, Living in me!
How often do we actually say, "Have your way Lord"? How often do we actually see ourselves as clay. As a lump of matter that God is molding and using. Then the first verse caps off with the truth that we should be waiting yielded and still.
The last verse closes with Fill with Thy Spirit Till all shall see Christ only, always, Living in me!
Humility means dying to self daily so that all people see in us is Christ. What a tough order to live up to!
Have a great day and thanks for reading!
