Humilty Meets Soul Stillness

Humility is the best communication path for honest communication with God.

Humility is a label for absolutely no posing.

How do you talk to the God of all wisdom?
*Without any religious phrases, you simply speak honestly from your heart, no matter what is there. Remember, if you are a child of God, God resides in you in the form of the Holy Spirit. He knows you already! We usually don’t take time to relate. God’s character and wisdom is written in the Bible. The Holy Spirit can use the Bible to personally tutor us toward living life in His wisdom and character, like His son Jesus.

How long does it take you to speak honestly with God about what is really in your heart?
* It varies; how long does it take for your mind and soul to get still and focus?
* How long does it take you to get your brain around who you really are?

What keeps us from speaking honestly with God?
* We fail to schedule “down time” to listen and allow a soul stillness.
* Business gives us a false superiority and easy avoidance of humility.
* Sin (selfish control) and guilt keep us conveniently preoccupied.
* What really motivates you from the inside? Have you told/confessed to God what really excites you in this life He gave you?

Speaking honestly with God is one of the first ways we exercise our faith. Confessing sin (selfish control) takes trust and faith, but faith increases.

Here is what Oswald Chambers says about humility and everyday life.
"After every time of exaltation, we are brought down with a sudden rush into things as they really are, where it is neither beautiful, poetic, nor thrilling. The height of the mountaintop is measured by the dismal drudgery of the valley, but it is in the valley that we have to live for the glory of God. We see His glory on the mountain, but we never live for His glory there. It is in the place of humiliation that we find our true worth to God—that is where our faithfulness is revealed. Most of us can do things if we are always at some heroic level of intensity, simply because of the natural selfishness of our own hearts. But God wants us to be at the drab everyday level, where we live in the valley according to our personal relationship with Him. Peter thought it would be a wonderful thing for them to remain on the mountain, but Jesus Christ took the disciples down from the mountain and into the valley, where the true meaning of the vision was explained."
