In the Spirit of Humility, by Jerome Stewart
Philippians 2 vs. 3 says; “Let nothing be through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.” Just think about
what this world would be like if we embrace those words. Vs. 5 says; “Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interest of others.”
Today in the midst of all the political bickering as well as the evil on display in this country, and throughout the world, we need to defer to the wisdom of God in
the spirit of humility. We need God’s mercy today! He sent us His grace in the person of Jesus Christ, and we need to pray to Him, to petition the LORD to
help us out of the mess we are in today. As to this country, we use to be referred to as a Christian nation. Consider the meaning of the words in 2nd. Chronicles 7
vss. 1 thru 4 where Solomon dedicated the temple at that time. The bible says; “When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and
consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the LORD’s house. When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came
down, and the glory of the LORD on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the LORD, saying: “For He is
good, for His mercy endures forever.” In speaking of the mercy of God in Psalms 136 the words “For His mercy endures forever,” are mentioned 26 times. Be
advised, He is the exact same God today. So let us pray. Listen to the words in 2nd Chronicles 7 vss. 12 thru 15 which says; “Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by
night, and said to him: “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or
command locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their
wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.” Strongly consider
the words in Psalms 46 vs. 1 which says; “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Again I say; Let us pray. We need God’s mercy today!
