Devotion 
Humbling Ourselves
Chipo Biti 

When we try to live our lives according to impulses inspired by pride and our egos, we are simply setting ourselves up for failure. There is no good that can ever come from thinking that we know better than God. When we try to rush for opportunities that we are not ready for, we simply end up setting ourselves up for embarrassment.

When people are not used to delayed gratification, they believe that they deserve to get whatever they want whenever they want it. This is not a wise way to live. When this happens, we ignore God's instructions and we choose to follow our own way instead because we believe that it is far better than the path that God has planned out for us. But this is the truth: we cannot do anything significantly meaningful without God. If we try to live our lives on our own terms it means that we are turning our backs on God.

Humility means that we acknowledge God's leadership over our lives and how we are nothing without it. Humility acknowledges that on our own, we are not the superbeings we think we are. If we were, we would not have needed God to save us from ourselves.

Prayer 

When we choose to humble ourselves under God's leadership, and we choose to follow His guidance instead, we will walk in the right way. Our time of recognition or appreciation will come in due time. When it happens we will not treat it like the be all and end all of our lives because we will be fully aware of what truly matters - God and His will for our lives.

When we try to rush the process, we end up delaying it because of the mistakes that we inevitably made.

It is far more rewarding to let God guide you. This will also stop you from experiencing embarrassing situations that could have been avoided.Devotion
