Wednesday/Thursday
I'm finding during my exploration this week of being a burden-bearer that humility is a good companion. We've all, I'm sure, been served heaping helpings of humble pie. And it doesn't at all rest easy on the palate. I don't care what it is, if we are forced to eat something, it never tastes as good as when we choose to eat something. The same is true for humble pie.
As a Christian sojourner, I propose that instead of being force-fed this unsavory dish, we pursue it like we would pursue any epicurean delight, and that we would devour humility spoonful after spoonful until we acquired a taste for it!
The verse following Galations 6:2 says: "For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself." This clearly explains the attitude we are to have throughout life. If you are seen as someone who "thinks he is something," you won't have many takers when it comes to throw out the help line. You can't be any help to anyone else if you have an attitude of superiority. If you are haughty, not humble, you cannot be helpful.
I pray today that, in humility, I am allowed to walk alongside someone whose burden I can bear!
