check out the water lines on
our church property.
We hadn’t noticed any
visible signs of such a prob
lem - no wet spots in the
building and no geysers
spewing into the air out in
the yard. However, based on
the unusual increase in usage
reflected on our water bill,
we felt confident that there
was a problem somewhere.
The meter showed that water
was still being used even
when no one was in the
building. There was defi
nitely a leak somewhere. It
was simply a matter of find
ing it.
Sometimes we may expe
rience indications that things
aren’t quite right in our rela
tionship with the Lord. It’s
not obvious. It may not be
noticeable to anyone else.
However, we sense that
for some reason our connec
tion with the Lord just isn’t
as strong as it should be. It’s
not that we’re aware of hav
ing committed some blatant
sin that cut off our fellowship
with God.
We just know that our
spiritual fervor seems to
have decreased and the Lord
seems to be more distant
than in the past. We seem to

On Having a Humble
Opinion of Oneself
I
“Better to be lowly in spirit along
with the oppressed than to share
plunder with the proud. ”
Proverbs 16:19 NIV
O ur egos are fragile things.
How easy it is to have our
egos bruised simply by
someone pointing out some flaw
that we have. Unfortunately,
most of us have plenty of flaws,
and if our friends and family
members, not to mention our
coaches, teachers and coworkers
are honest with us, they will
sometimes point them out.
Instead of getting upset about
this, we should really thank them
and consider how we might work
on these flaws. The truth is, most
of our friends and family
members don’t know the half of
it when it comes to our flaws.
Besides the obvious ones, most
of us also have hidden flaws that
run deep. And even our positive
attributes often stem from some
character flaw. I may consider
myself a simple man with simple
tastes and say that I am frugal
when in fact I’m really just a
cheapskate. We often make a
virtue out of necessity, and all of
this is just to say that we ought
to have a very humble opinion of
ourselves. Thinking that others
are better than ourselves, even
when they are not, is a good way
to avoid having your ego bruised.
