Humble is “having or showing a modest or low estimate of one’s own importance; lower (someone) in dignity or importance.” Every day when I pray I ask God to root out of me anything that keeps me from being humble and anything impure within me that prevents me from hearing His voice. I have been looking for a place to move. The only thing I really ask was it be near water (be specific in your prayers). A nice apartment near so many convenient things fell through after I was told I had it. The Lord led me to this trailer that was so beat up on the outside. Poppa? I grew up living in a trailer. I was looking back on so many beautiful places I have lived since. Again, Poppa? I went to look at it with my brother and it had something else I had forgotten I had told God I wanted, a big bathtub. It may seem silly to most but it was huge to me. It is also by a lake. Okay God. You are going to have to work this out. I need the first month’s rent and a deposit. I had just paid a $1000 after my landlord had increased my rent by $400. I have the IRS to pay, it’s Christmas… I likely could have came up with so many other things. God listened and then placed me in that beat up trailer, but the inside was full of so much potential. I began to think about people and even myself. They see an old woman coming out of an abusive marriage who has made so many mistakes throughout her life. But God. Those are the very people He specializes in using. Rahab was a harlot and is in the linage of Jesus. Moses did not think He could lead the children out of Egypt or go before Pharaoh, his speech was not eloquent enough. But God. God is known for using the ones people would least expect. This trailer reminded me that it’s not what is on the outside but inside that matters. Do not judge where God puts you or where others are. God may have you each there for very important reasons. Listen to Him, lean in hard to Him, and get ready to watch Him move! 🦅 ~ Chelle, #f8ithgal
