A.I.: Artificial IdentitySample

If you had to eat one food for the rest of your life, what would you pick? Chances are, if you had to eat the same thing every single day, you would get sick of it no matter what it was. It would eventually become the thing you wanted the least. In a similar, seemingly backward way, Jesus tells us that if we exalt or gas ourselves up all the time, we’ll end up with little to show for it. But if we choose authentic humility, that’s when God can work in our lives to lift us up. When we puff ourselves up, we paint our own picture of what is best, but if we look at Jesus’ life and words, we’ll see that we already have access to the best, most authentic way of life. In our humility, God will lift us up, and that’s the best thing we could hope for.

Today, spend a few moments in prayer. Ask God to show you the spaces where you can show humility. Pray that you’ll be reminded that in your authentic humility, you’ll see God at work to bring out the best in you and lead you toward God’s best for your life.
