Humility, the foundation of holiness.

...And the publican standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven, but struck his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner...

It is hard, sometimes very hard, to embrace humility, or, said another way, to give up pride and self exultation.

If only we, as a people, could humble ourselves, just think of the incredible possibilities!  A holy nation under the guidance and grace of God Almighty!

Can it happen?

But we must also face reality, and that reality suggests that, right now, we are nowhere near as a humble people, a humble nation.  So, this means we have a lot of work to do.  Can we, at least, meet the Creator half-way down the road, and start the enormous task ahead of us?

The blessings would be astronomical!  And this is not pie-in-the-sky; it's possible.  If I didn't think so, then why hope for anything, anything at all?  Just close up shop and crawl into a cave.  

Pray for humility, not only for ourselves, but also for our country as a whole..
