Be Humble (Ps. 51:17)
Back in high school, I was asked to pick out a Bible verse to read in front of the congregation. I went home and googled "good Bible verses in Psalms", expecting to see a bunch of verses about praising God with a loud noise and with instruments. I wanted to blow everyone away with my expert selection. Instead, what the Spirit revealed to me was Psalm 51:17, a verse about breaking oneself to please God. This greatly upset me. I didn't want to be humble! I wanted to be the cool, hip, attractive guitarist with the ultra-relevant Bible verse and the cool hair. But God had other plans. God used that verse to humble me and equip me to better lead others.
