"'Why do you call me good?' Jesus answered. 'No one is good—except God alone.'"
Mark 10:18
Today's challenge is probably the most difficult so far: humility. Jesus claims that he is not even worthy of being called "good." All of his actions point to God and God's role in life.
There are times in my life when I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being humble. Whenever I sing at church, I am awed by the wonderful gifts God has given me. Yet there are many times in life when I am very proud of something I feel I have accomplished. I spend a lot of time being extremely not-humble about all the gifts God has bestowed upon me.
Throughout the day, I spent time thanking God for all that he does in my life, and all that he gives me. I didn't really have any major opportunities to be humble, but I definitely thought about all of the times when I should be humble. God is absolutely wonderful to me, and all that I have comes from his graciousness. I hope I can remember that in the coming days, as well.
