Humility: True Greatness #6

Chapter 6

- "Throughout each day we're experiencing saving grace, sustaining grace, serving grace - grace that should amaze us."

- "I must INTENTIONALLY transfer the glory to God."

- "Whatever successes you experience in your life and ministry and vocation, learn to immediately transfer the glory to Him."

- At the END OF EACH DAY - "Receive the gift of sleep from God and acknowledge His purpose for sleep."

- "A Christian, informed and inspired by Scripture, views the cessation of work each day, the limitation god places upon work each day, and the laying down to sleep each night, as altogether a gift from God."

- "Each night as I confront my need again for sleep, I'm reminded that I'm a dependent creature. I am not self-sufficient. I am not the Creator."

- "Throughout the night as you sleep, someone else is sustaining you."

- "Seize this opportunity to mortify pride and cultivate humility by setting apart sleep as a holy gift from God."

- "Let the Spirit give you a new perception and appreciation of sleep."
