I’ve heard humility compared to a trained stallion. Without humility, we can act like wild stallions, all spirit with no boundaries, roaming. Humility is like a bridle on a stallion, providing the direction. Even though our spirit is strong, we know that we can’t win the race without God’s direction.
Humility is not having a low view of your importance, but knowing your importance in Christ. God loves our fiery spirits, but by surrendering that over He reminds us of our worth in Him. As I am reminded of who I am in Christ, my confidence rises. I no longer am a roamer – but sparked with purpose!
