Be Thou Humble

Something new that I learned was in 1 Corinthians 1:27. The scripture says “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty”. Here I learned that we must be meek and humble if we want to be enlightened rather than confounded. As long as we think that we have everything figured out and that we don't need God's help, He'll always find a way to help remind us that we do need him and to stop being so full of it. We also must rely on Him in order to receive revelation and take advantage of the Atonement. And we can only do those things by being meek and humble. The Atonement is the greatest gift. It's what Christ and God sacrificed for the most for us. So we wouldn't we use it? I don’t remember where I heard this from or who said it but it says, “God comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable.” He cannot teach those who are prideful so He helps us to be humble.
