Speaking in humility and gratitude ...

When Christians speak of God, we often do so with far too much confidence in ourselves and far too little reverence for whatever it is we gesture at with the word God. This brief quote by Karl Barth is an important reminder for us all.

"As [servants of God] we ought to speak of God. We are human, however, and so we cannot speak of God. We ought therefore to recognize both our obligation and our inability and by that very recognition give God the glory."

Karl Barth, "The Word of God and the Word of Man," 186.

As servants of God, it is our job to make sure that we follow God's rules. Though some of us do not really follow some of the rules because we are busy with our own personal lives and we set rules for ourselves which is nota right thing, we should always do our best to abide God's rules with humility and gratitude. We should always make it a practice to be thankful to God for all the blessings that we have received because that's the right thing.
