Draw Me Nearer, Blessed Lord

I read a book a few years ago called Humility: The Beauty of Holiness by Andrew Murray. I recently found it on Podbean and have been listening to it in the mornings. I cannot recommend it enough. It is powerful and convicting. I could listen to it daily as I am in such need of humility!

The Lord has been working in my life since we came to the field showing me my great need of humility. He has exposed that I think more highly of myself than I ought to think. I am not Christ-like nor have I died to self like I should have. He humbled himself to the cross, yet I am offended by the attitudes of those who don’t treat me as I think they should.

Again and again I have been brought to Moses. The Bible says he was the meekest in all the earth. This was said of him as others rose up against him – against God’s chosen leader. He did not defend himself or tell others that God had chosen him. He humbled himself to the cross.

One of the most Christ-like attitudes we can attain is that of His humility, and yet it is probably the hardest as we must battle our prideful flesh!

Again, I highly recommend the book or the reading of it on Podbean.

  2. Thank you for the recommendation. God’s been pointing out my haughtiness to me (thinking I’m better that someone else) which is a close cousin to pride. I’m so glad God is so patient with us! Keep on climbing those mountains. By God’s strength, we can 🙂
