Five Kinds of Humility
Humble, not Proud
Paul J. Bucknell
This is a list of some ways God brings humility into our lives. We need to pay attention to how God is working in our lives to learn what He is teaching us from these experiences. This is one class that we don't want to take over!
Humility from sin
Humility from design
Humility from persecution
Humility from death
Humility from sickness
Sickness is a hard subject to comprehend. Just when we think we have mastered our understanding of disease, we face some circumstance that rattles our theory. The reason for this is that sickness is a common experience. Each occurrence has its own causes and purposes. It is well if we summarize our quest to understand disease and sickness by saying with Jesus,
"This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it." (John 11:4).
In other words, no matter what sickness and disease might be diagnosed, God is accomplishing His good purpose through it.
