"Random" Thoughts on Humility

Elijah is still calling down fire from heaven... consuming two companies of fifty men with their captains... the third captain fell on his knees before Elijah and begged that he respect his life and the life of his men... humility appears in the story again... and God spoke and told Elijah to go with them... their lives were spared.

My husband was reading Proverbs 11 this morning. He tells me that his father used to read Proverbs every day... since there are 31 chapters today is the day for the 11th... pretty good idea. In verse 2 it says: "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom."

I watched a video this morning on the TED website of Stacey Kramer speaking of a gift she had received... her humility is moving.

How do I move into and through my day with this perspective? How do I embrace humility? How do I see my suffering as a gift from God and embrace whatever comes my way?
