Where do we find our value? Is it the impression we give off to others when we're on our ipads on the train. Carrying a kindle? Expensive clothes? The people we talk to and associate with? The places we go? The pictures we put up on our facebook? The coffee we drink? The money other people see us giving?
Being humble is doing things for God's glory, not doing deeds that we know others will see us do and therefore appear to be a good person.
God gives us value when we accept him as our Saviour and Lord. Adding these worldly levels of value to ourselves does not increase our value, it only chips away at what God has made us: a new creation.
Being humble is doing things for God's glory, not doing deeds that we know others will see us do and therefore appear to be a good person.
These things aren't bad, but should be distinguished as things that the world hold high in value for a person, not what God does. It's like chasing the wind - Ecclesiastes.
