Humble

Everybody knows Don Moen. Everybody sings Give Thanks, Hallelujah to the Lamb, God will make A Way, and hundreds of songs which were sung by him. But how many of us know about his humble attitude?

Ask Don Moen what he does, and the answer might surprise you. He won’t say he’s a songwriter even though he’s written more than 100 songs. He won’t say he’s a worship leader even though he’s led worship on every continent but Antarctica and recorded numerous albums. He won’t say he’s a businessman or producer even though as President of Integrity Music he has produced and directed hundreds of projects that have helped make the company an industry leader.
If you ask Don Moen why God put him on this planet, he’ll tell you, “To be an architect who designs products and events that help people experience God’s presence in a new and fresh way.” And in more than three decades of ministry, he’s had lots of opportunity to fulfill that purpose.

How about us? Do we often become proud of the ministries that God has asked us to do? I mean we tend to be boastful by becoming a worship leader, a band singer, a dancer or the ability to share the Word of God to others? God has already trusted us with those ministries. And all we have to do is just: becoming a humble person. Realizing we, like what Don Moen said, are architect who designs better things so that people would experience God's presence in a new and fresh way.
It's all about Him and not about us... (-fon-)

But I will leave within you
the meek and humble,
who trust in the name of the LORD.
--- Zephaniah 3:12
