Are You Smarter Than God?


Are we better than God? Are we smarter than God? Do we know better than God? Few would say that out right, but many of us, even Christians, live like we believe it in some way.

Embrace Humility

Humility is not natural to anyone. It goes completely against our nature to put others first, to yield in any way, to deny our right to promote ourselves. Our society, especially, encourages us to live contrary to humility. We are pushed to seek our own good, to climb that ladder at all costs, to fight for our rights, to defend ourselves against any offense. Indeed, in our culture those who exhibit humility are looked down upon as weak, and often our Savior who is the epitome of humility is viewed in a negative light in some ways. It begs the question, is humility that important? Is it just one of those old fashioned ideas or mannerisms that do not apply to modern Christians? What is the benefit of it anyway?
