be humble!!

hey y'all!
today was good. lazy day. haha. i pretty much layed around and did nothing until 4 where i went to band practice & met our interim music minister! he was pretty awesome i must say! he picked great songs, & i am happy to say we will be singing songs that I, and y'all, actually know tomorrow morning! and im really excited!
so i did my devotion last night on being humble. 1 Peter 5:6 says, "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time." as Christians, we have to realize that pride is a major blockage between you & God. its harder to know God when your prideful. whenever we experiance success we need not to take the praise for ourselves, but give it to God. because he is the only reason we do well in antying. Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, "It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements." they're not our achievements, they're Gods achievements & thats what makes it important. whenever we achieve something we dont need to take pride in it for ourselves, we need to give the glory to God! Humilty pleases God. pride does not. so heres my question...are you gunna be humble, and please God? or prideful, & dissapoint him??
i love y'all!
God Bless!
