Commit this passage to memory: “To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, 26 to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd. 27 You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty. 28 You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. 29 With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.” (Psalm 18:25-29)

Commit this passage to memory: “In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, ‘God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.’ Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:5-7)

Reflect on our discussion of humility this past week and consider your goals today.
“Although Jerome Hines had worldwide fame as an opera singer, he had never sung in a church service as a believer until he had a chance to sing at a meeting in London. He was bothered when the meeting leader asked a woman to sing just before he was to be introduced. ’Why,’ he wondered, ‘do they let her sing? What a terrible sound. It’s strange that they’d let her sing, knowing there’s a Metropolitan Opera singer on the program.’ He was disturbed.
Then Hines was struck by the radiant, beautiful look on the woman’s face. The impact of the words of the song struck him. He soon forgot the unpleasant scratch of her voice. He was impressed by the glow that shone from her face. When she finished the number, Hines rose to sing. To his complete consternation his voice was so scratchy and hoarse that he had to stop in the middle of the hymn, make an apology for an unexpected laryngitis attack, and then sat down. He was confused; here he was trying to sing for the Lord for the first time and it was a complete failure. He questioned God and seemed to hear Him reply, ‘I am not interested in your beautiful voice, but in your message.’
It was a humbling but a valuable experience for Jerome Hines. Since then the ‘message’ has been the motivation for his singing.” (Warner, 1,000 Stories & Quotations of Famous People)
