Humility


In response to the great cathedrals of the world, I thought I'd create my own place of worship. It is a place that I wouldn't expect people to travel great distances to visit. It is not decorated with great art. The walls don't do a very good job of protecting the people who enter — they are still exposed to the storms of life. I wouldn't wear fine clothes if it wanted to sit or kneel in this place. The only choir is the wind, the crickets, and bird songs.
I'm not knocking the great places of worship in the world. It is important to glorify God with the work of our hands and to inspire others to glorify God, but sometimes we, as Christians, need to be reminded of where OUR glory lies. … And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. It's really pretty simple — like a building used to store corn.
