Being humble is easy if we never forget how great God is and if we pay attention to the wonders the Hubble telescope has revealed. This is a huge universe—and God created it simply by speaking, and it was done. Bernard Bailey wrote, "When they discover the center of the universe, a lot of people will be disappointed to discover they are not it." We should not think more highly of ourselves that we ought to (Romans 12:3).

It is through humility toward God and obedience to His words that we are allowed to come boldly before His throne (Hebrews 4:16). It is often among ourselves that humility suffers. Obedience to God's words require that we are to love our neighbors as we love ourselves (Luke 10:27-28). It takes thought and effort to keep a humble attitude before our fellow men—but God knows we can do it and expects us to. Jesus taught mankind how to walk on this path.
