I believe, brothers and sisters,
that only those who are humble are able to acknowledge
and understand the Lord's answers to their prayers. The humble are
teachable, recognizing how dependent they are
on God and desiring to be subject to His will. The humble are meek
and have the ability to influence others
to be the same. God's promise to the
humble is that He will lead them by the hand. I truly believe that we will
avoid detours and sadness in our lives as long as we walk
hand in hand with the Lord.
