TODAY IN THE WORD
Read: Isaiah 6:1-7
Stunned by God's awesome presence, Job humbly responded: “Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know . . . My ears had heard of you, but now my eyes have seen you.” (see Job 38-42).
Humility properly begins as a “vertical” virtue; that is, it depends on an accurate sense of who one is before God. There's no quicker cure for pride than to compare the mortal to the immortal, the finite to the infinite, the selfish to the loving, and the sinful to the holy.
Lord: help me to have a proper sense, view of humility (of your presense), particularly when upset and need to respond to my wife.
