Morning Meditation: Humility - Story

As the first light of dawn spills through the kitchen window, a humble cup of coffee steams gently on the table. The aroma envelops me, inviting me to pause and reflect. In this everyday moment, I’m reminded of the promise in Isaiah 40:31: “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Humility, often misunderstood, is not about self-deprecation. It is the quiet assurance that we are not the center of the universe. Just as a cup relies on the strength of the potter to shape it, we too are crafted by the hands of our Creator. It's in recognizing our dependence on God that we find true joy. We are invited to lean into His grace, allowing Him to renew our spirits.

Picture the eagle, effortlessly gliding against the backdrop of a vast sky. It does not strive, but rather trusts in the currents of the wind. Similarly, when we approach God with humble hearts, we too can take flight, finding purpose and direction in His guidance.

So, in your morning moments, let gratitude fill your spirit. Embrace the awe of being known and loved by the One who holds the universe. Allow humility to transform your heart, and watch as joy springs forth, renewing your strength for the day ahead.
