Humble children of God

As a child of God, how well do I accept God's discipline?
Do I see unfavorable happenings as from other than God, or do I believe in an all-powerful God who oversees all and allows a perfecting process (designed by Him) to groom me for eternity.

Spiritual humility has my eyes down as I stand before or address my God, yet it has me standing tall on His behalf (not show-off tall but sturdy, committed and sincere).

Scripture teaches that the undisciplined person is as the illegitimate child and not really God's child after all.

Do you want, really want the comfortable, nice, uninterrupted lifestyle?? Well there seems to be an answer for the believer at least-something along the line that obedience has its rewards which may in part at least be some of this lifestyle that so many exist for!! See Hebrews 12: 7-12. Check out this link for commentary and reference http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=65&chapter=12&version=51

I measure my degree of humility as being directly proportional to what I am able to LET GO of. Whatever I cling to represents that which controls me, and that is NOT OF GOD, in other words what I will handle on my own and will not totally surrender to God. I am healthy and free, available, valuable and effective to the degree I am UNATTACHED; to that degree God will be in charge of my life and to that degree only will I be humble.

Humility (step 7) is so crucial to recovery!!
