DAY 31
How humility handles our need to be noticed
- With the choice to humble yourself , you begin to see the world differently . Instead of always needing to be noticed by others , you begin to notice others' need .
- You find a refreshing freedom to see , care about and act on the needs you see around you .
- Jesus gave his disciples a list of three things that served as a telltale sign of their need to be noticed :
"Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi.' " ( Matthew 23:5-7 )
They make their phylacteries wide
- A phylactery was a little box worn on the head that contained Scripture versus to honour the Old Testament teaching to carry God's word with you throughout the day .
- A love of symbols
- Jesus told us to watch out that we don't arrange everything in our lives around the need to be noticed .
They love the place of honour at banquets
- A love of recognition and honour
- People like to see their own name in certain program , to hear their name being mention , to receive the honours that let others know they've worked hard .
They love to have men call them " Rabbi"
- A love of titles
- "Rabbi" means "Teacher"
- Titles can let others know about our responsibilities
- A title is only important in that it expresses your ability to serve others
- Yet , it could become something we love for he notice they bring
Noticing the needs of others
- The only way to cure of this need to be noticed is to start noticing other people's needs
- Humility question: " Am I serving because I need to be noticed or because I notice and want to meet others' needs ? "
" If anyone would like to acquire humility I can , I think , tell him the first step . The first step is to realise that one is proud " - C.S Lewis
- How do we deal with it ? By the only way : Trust God to meet your need for notice ! Immerse yourself in the truth that God has promised to meet your needs .
" My God will use his wonderful riches in Christ Jesus to give you everything you need."
( Phillippians 4:19 )
- Trust God even when he doesn't give you what you want , and keep asking him for what you need
- When you start to meet others' needs , you'll see your own stress level go down .
- One small kindness will have more impact than you can possibly imagine .
- A life focused on yourself and the meeting of your own needs will never be a great life , because it can get no larger than just you .
