Humility that God Honors

by Pastor Darryl K. Fields |  September 20, 2013

My Beloved,

John the Baptist is a great example of the humility that God honors.  It was John the Baptist who said, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 3:30)  Warren Weirsbe tells this story to illustrate the importance of humility:

 A Presbyterian pastor in Melbourne, Australia introduced J. Hudson Taylor by using many superlatives, especially the word great. Taylor stepped to the pulpit and quietly said, “Dear friends, I am the little servant of an illustrious Master.” If John the Baptist in heaven heard that statement, he must have shouted “Hallelujah!”

Stay small enough long enough for God to make you big enough soon enough! Union remember James 4:6 says, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” 

Sincerely yours and Securely His,

Pastor Darryl K. Fields
