March 25: HUMBLE VOICES ALWAYS CARRY THE FARTHEST

Affirmation: I choose to appreciate who I am. I let go of self-doubt and “supposed to.”

The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33:4 ESV

  Ponder: These 3 verses point us to the impact of Passover and Easter on our lives. Read these verses aloud at least 5 times as you begin to memorize them. Ponder them as you go through your day. What role does God in our lives?

Ephesians 2:8–10 

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

HUMBLE VOICES ALWAYS CARRY THE FARTHEST.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. 

JAMES 4:10 

 

Some of my sweetest memories include friends playing music on the dock at our lodge in Canada. It's still light at 10:00 p.m. during the late summer evenings. With the sun and the moon hanging together, we huddle around when our friends begin to sing. They'll close their eyes and sing from their hearts as tears stream down all our faces. 

What makes these times even more magical is the way the soft voices carry for miles, bouncing off the mountains and echoing into the night. Who knew nature had its own surround-sound system? 
Those intimate moments always remind me that humble voices carry the farthest in the world. It's never the person making a statement on a soapbox that sticks with us. They might get our attention in the moment or capture the news cycle for a day, but their moments are brief and their influence quickly fades to silence. 

Humble people speak love whenever they see an open heart, whether it's on a stage or by a hospital bed. They speak their words quietly, whether they are in the limelight or in a dark night. They don't need a megaphone because their actions amplify their words and people are drawn to their message, which can be heard from afar even when it's whispered. Because they're faithful in small ways, their influence reaches farther than a viral video ever could. 

God has a way of making humble voices travel far. No matter where we are, God amplifies true and kind voices who confidently speak the language of love into the world. Don't be loud; be humble. Why? If you want to reach the whole world with your message, humble voices always carry the farthest. 

In what ways is God inviting you to step more fully into humility today?
