You are love; You are wisdom; You are humility
- Saint Francis of Assisi, The Praises of God
What an encouragement to faith to know that God is humble and willing to stoop. As the psalmist says,
Who is like the LORD our God,
the One who sits enthroned on high,
who stoops down to look
on the heavens and the earth?
He raises the poor from the dust....Psa. 113:5 - 6
How low is God prepared to go? Low enough to become a man. Low enough to serve. Low enough to suffer the shame of crucifixion. Low enough to save his enemies. Low enough to hear even a prayer full mostly of doubt ("I believe, help my unbelief.")
God is graciously ready to meet you right where you are. Take advantage of his grace today.
