In Luke 10 verse 20 Jesus teaches a vital lesson on humility and insuring that we don’t fall into pride or self-righteousness. He warns the messengers who had just returned to not rejoice because of what took place but to simply rejoice because their names were registered in Heaven. It is very easy to lose our balance when we don’t stay focused on who is in control and keep our eyes upon our eternal destination.
This message not only speaks to leaders within a church but to everyone who begins to raise themselves up in their accomplishments. By learning to simply just do the work and leave the rest to God helps us to balance our lives and have peace in our walk. For our accomplishments are not our accomplishments they are all for the glory of God as we are just the instrument learning how to play. The question is, which horn do we blow? Do we blow our own or do we blow the trumpet of God?
