Signs and humility

There is something totally humbling about seeing a sign and obeying it. It doesn't have to be a sign, it could be something simple like a sheet of music, a recipe, a simple system at work that your employer would have you to follow exactly. Yet what is it in us that drive us to WANT to do just the opposite of the quiet prompting of that small sign? 

Signs can offer advice.

Signs can warn us of danger. 

Signs give us direction. 

Signs are easily made fun of... and yet they are there for a reason.

And this picture shows my point better than all of the others. As I was getting ready to write this post I was trying to remember all the pictures of signs I've taken over the years and this one came to mind right away. I'm amazed at how I'm obviously even pushing hard with my finger.

I want to share something with you all that really has blessed me as I'm going through some things in my life that I read from a book that my best and dearest friend gave me sometime ago. 

"Today, as your heart seeks the lowly place, humility will move your toward everything that is good and away from everything that is evil. Humility is the pathway of every servant's journey. Humility is the road map that guides you to God's unconditional love, and it is the sign that points you to the vast treasure of His abundant grace.

Humility allows you to see your weakness and embrace God's strength; it allows you to see your insufficiency and embrace His righteousness; it allows you to see your lack and embrace His supply. 

Humility is the place of freedom where your spirit soars, where your love is perfected, and where God's richest blessings abound. Rivers never run from the valley to the mountaintop, but they always seek the lowest place, the place of least resistance. Today, as your heart is yielded to the Lord in humility, the river of the Holy Spirit will flood in and fill you to overflowing with peace, and flow out through you to bless the lives of others."

~Today is Your Best Day. Page 52. 

I Peter 5:5

Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Discrimination against tall people.

Yes, it's true. Sometimes, being 6'3" can feel a little awkward. But, it's no reason to go around building objects to kill innocent people like me.

Signs don't make it better either. "Low clearance, please watch your head." <<>> And I'm still looking for the mirror. Really, if I put a huge trap right in the middle of a park or mall with man-eating tigers in it, ready to eat you alive, with a sign--"Man-Eating Tigers, Please Watch Your Step"—there would be those of you who just might not like it a whole lot. I bet you would even be a little ticked off. I mean, it could ruin your day just like this beam (pictured below) has and will continue to ruin mine and that of many of my vertically enhanced friends. Things like this just aren't funny.  I'm pretty sure the smallest kid in class--who was bitter growing up that he was overlooked or picked on--devised these instruments of mass destruction with an evil little snicker.

Just the other day I was helping move a bunch of furniture for this older really really shor...ahem... vertically challenged man and I quickly realized that if you work for someone who is lacking in perpendicular you had better assume it's a hard hat site. You should only enter at your own risk without a hard hat. You also assume all responsibility for damages made to the noggin. This guy had things hanging from rafters that about put an end to my days more than one time. It's amazing I still have a head  on my shoulders at all.

This is me after nearly dying from a severe blow to my cranium... weak and feeble as it may be it is the only one I have so I don't appreciate low hanging, low clearance, or  low flying objects... or cold hot dogs for that matter!
