Grass

"For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." (Luke 18:14)

Live as a low-blade of grass because our God is always mowing.

The thing about grass is this: grass does not look or function well when it is tall. It needs to stay low to the ground, become thick, and habitate in close quarters with other blades of grass to choke out the weeds. Weeds grow tall, they don’t congregate as well, and they’re always trying to be seen.

The same is true with us. In God’s economy the way up is down. And I mean down on our faces in humility. We cannot and should not promote ourselves. That’s God’s job. I like to picture God as a lawn mower sometimes. He regularly comes along with the mower and cuts down anything that tries to exalt itself above the knowledge of Him. Best to stay low so you don’t get your head cut off.
