Disciples practice humility. Humility is necessary for a thriving relationship with Jesus because we only walk this walk of faith by the gift of God's grace. Grace, the Bible says, is reserved for the humble. If there's anything I need more of on a daily basis, it's the grace of God.
It's so easy to rely on yourself. We do this unintentionally all the time in the our marriages, work, ministry or any area in our life that requires specific abilities. I heard one preacher describe pride as having a big ego. The ego he was referring to was not defined by a Freudian pop-psychology. Rather it was an acrostic that defined EGO as Edging God Out.
Disciples keep Jesus at the front and center of their lives. Don't push God to the periphery of your life. Stay humble every day and put your trust in Him.
