“Will God ever ask you to do something you are not able to do? The answer is yes--all the time! It must be that way, for God's glory and kingdom. If we function according to our ability alone, we get the glory; if we function according to the power of the Spirit within us, God gets the glory. He wants to reveal Himself to a watching world.” - Henry Blackaby, Experiencing the Spirit
The example of humility in Jesus is a powerful life changing force. My desire for self importance, status, and prestige are smashed as I grasp His love. My illusions of a kingdom of selfish gain end in disappointment t and discouragement. Seeking His kingdom and His righteousness bring an inner joy that are counter cultural, beyond my own understanding.
