Scripture: James 4:10
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Thought for the Day: Yesterday morning, I made the drive downtown to the medical center. As a Houstonian newbie, that experience is crazy. As I entered the hospital from the parking garage, I had no idea where an information desk could be found. I walked down a long hallway, and then noticed an information sign. I had paused to look at it when a doctor asked, “Can I help you find something?” “I’m just looking for the information desk so I can find out a patience room,” I responded. “Follow me,” he said, and we begin walking further down the hallway. As we walked, we passed other doctors, nurses and medical staff, and each of them said to my credentialed escort, “Good to see you, sir!” “How are you doing, sir?” Whoever was leading me to my destination was someone very important, yet he had taken the time from his busy schedule to deliver me to my destination. I was dressed rather casually, jeans and a simple shirt. Why would someone who was busy doing the important things doctors do, take the time to help me? The humility of this man inspired me. Maybe that was what God had in mind when the divine nature was humbled in the form of a small child.
Prayer: For all who chose to humble themselves through service, I give thanks, Lord, but especially for your willingness to come close in the birth of a child. Amen.
