helaman 12: 14 - 26
how can remembering God's greatness help us avoid pride? what else can we do to be humble instead of prideful?
--> i love the references to us being less than the dust of the earth in this section. even the dust and the winds and the waters obey the voice of the Lord and go withersoever he listeth to send them. this has always been a good reminder to me. humility isn't my strong characteristic, but i like to pretend it is... for recognition... ha ha. remembering that we are literally nothing helps me to remember God's greatness and helps me remember to be humble. i appreciate the opportunity to feel God's love for me, and to feel that i matter to Him, but also appreciate the reminders that i am so small and weak compared to His greatness. i need to be submissive to Him. "if God were a novelist, He would use a pen to write your story. be a willing and meek pen." - elder nashif of my mtc district once said that quote. i've always loved it.
