William Law made a lasting impact in 18th century England with his book - A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life. In it, William encourages all Christians to view each day as a day of humility by learning to serve others. He understood the Biblical principle that through service to others, we can gain true humility. To those who desire the grace of humility he challenges: “Give in to all the weaknesses and infirmities of your fellow-man, cover their frailties, love their excellences, encourage their virtues, relieve their wants, rejoice in their prosperities, be compassionate in their distress, receive their friendship, overlook their unkindness, forgive their malice, be a servant of servants, and agree to do the lowest offices to the lowest of mankind.”

It has been said that we ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.  With what spirit shall we perform all the duties of this day – whether small or large, whether noble or mundane?

It would be well to follow Teddy Roosevelt’s advice – go outside on a clear night and contemplate the vastness of the universe.  After this exercise, he affirms, "Now I think we are small enough! Let's go to bed."

Mark 9:35

Whoever wants to be the most important person

must take the last place and be a servant to everyone else.

Blessed are the Humble,

Pastor Tammy
