Daniel 5:22

Being humble is a big thing to God. I guess it comes back to the basic idea that He's in control and we're not. Anytime something good happens, I have a tendency to think that I'm the one doing it. But when something bad happens, I'm driven to my knees to seek God more intently than if everything went the way I wanted it to. I wish I could just get it down where I sought God and depended on Him and humbled myself before Him at all times, not just when I don't know what to do... That way God wouldn't have to get my attention through external circumstances. He would already have it.

Lord, help me to humble myself before you and realize that when I depend on you, I've got everything I need. And when I depend on myself, I just mess things up.
