Stay Humble

Romans 12:3 

"For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned."

It is good to have faith in yourself, but not to be arrogant. Believe in yourself, but don't overdo it. You can't do everything, but God can through you. There is a lot of pop psychology today which is humanism telling you to believe in the hero inside of you. Be your own hero. Why not let God be your hero? You can accomplish whatever you want to, but with God's help. 

If you try to live your life without God's help, you will get lost. "Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge God and he will direct your path." What does that mean? Ask God. Before you make any major decision, ask God if that is the right thing to do. Don't act impulsively. God will always give you advice. All you have to do is ask him. 

I think most people talk to themselves when they need to make decisions. Writing about your concerns helps. The best thing is to talk to God about it. How do you know when it is God talking to you? If the voice seems wiser than you are, you know it's God. If the voice is steering in a good direction, it is God. 

The more humble you are, the more you will rely on God. The more you rely on God, the better your life will go. "God gives grace to the humble but opposes the proud." Grace means favor. If you want God's favor, stay humble. Believe in yourself, but mostly believe in you and God accomplishing anything you need to accomplish. Give your dreams to God, and watch him bring them to pass.
