The Secret of Humility

1 Peter 5:6, 7

In his book Humility, Andrew Murray says that the blessings of perfect peace and overflowing joy are sometimes like charming objects behind a department store window. We'd like to reach out and grab them, but there's a thick sheet of plate glass in the way. And that plate glass represents pride.

"Humility," writes Murray, "is simply the disposition which prepares the soul for living on trust." Pride refuses to let God be what He is and must be—our All in All. Humility, on the other hand, "is the secret of the truest happiness, of a joy that nothing can destroy."
