Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.
From Proverbs 22:4: “The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.”

Our Creator teaches us so much from His living canvas. Therefore, take time each day to slow down and immense yourself into the patience of nature.

Oswald Chambers Quote
We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God. Immediately we abandon to God, and do the duty that lies nearest, He packs our life with surprises all the time.
From 1 John 3:2: Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when He is revealed, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher. Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons. Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.

Human history becomes more a race between education and catastrophe.
What really matters is what you do with what you have.
H. G. (Herbert George) Wells (1866-1946) was a British novelist, journalist, and historian. Many of his published works share a futuristic view, and this has earned him the distinction of being the “father of science fiction.”
