Born in a Manger

While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. she wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
LUKE 2:6-7

when i read this scripture at a church service i went to on Christmas Eve i couldnt help but think of how humble God was. he could've came with a horse and chariot and a purple robe or even born in an extravagant hospital room with the best of the best because he is the King of Kings.but no he was born in a dirty, cold, smelly manger where animals stay in. noone would've imagined the creator of the universe, God of all things, THE GREAT I AM to come in such a quiet humble way.
If Jesus can humble himself in such a way...why can't we? being prideful is displeasing to God. by being prideful you are saying that you're better than God that you know more than him. doesn't that sound crazy? pride is a character trait that is not of God so we shouldn't be carrying that around. the very first day Jesus came into this earth he taught us a lesson. to be humble and stay humble. God loves humility so every morning you wake up make sure to put on that "garment of humility".

Before a downfall the heart is haughty

but humility comes before honor.

Proverbs 18:12

Merry Christmas
