Men are often teased for not asking for directions. But it’s a human problem. Actually not really human, because if you are really human, you will be hum…ble as well. Human and humility; their roots go together. But our pride raises us above our “humus,” earthy self. It gives us illusions about our need to be in control. Our sick secret is you never ask for help when you believe you are in control. Faith changes this. We discover our real humanness when we learn to knock, to seek and to ask. God’s will is to help us to learn to be humble by inviting us to ask Him for help. Then we discover what it truly means to be human. We are free to ask. Free to enjoy the fellowship of people who know they need each other to be earthy, to be real, to be human beings. Practice some of the statements above by asking God for help today. See what happens. Then use one or two of these with someone else. It may be your first discovery of what it means to be human.
Thus says the Lord: Ask for the ancient paths, where the good way lies; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.
Jeremiah 6:16
We want each one of you to show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope to the very end, so that you may not become sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:11-12
Gracious Lord, thank you for plans you set and the inheritance you prepared for me long before I was born. Show me the path to walk with faith and hope like saints from long ago. Stir me from my sleep and make me diligent in my task to serve you on this earth as a testimony of your faithfulness. Amen.
