Absolutely Nobody

Surely I am more stupid than any man, and do not have the understanding of a man. - Proverbs 30:2

He wanted to be a nobody. In 1992, a Seattle man running for the office of Washington State's lieutenant governor legally charged his name to "Absolutely Nobody." As he entered the race, he said he wanted to greet the voters, saying, "Hi, I'm Absolutely Nobody. Vote for me." He later admitted that the purpose of his campaign was to abolish the office of lieutenant governor.

This man used a name as a gimmick, but the Bible has a lot to say those of us who present ourselvesto others as a nobody. The right kind of humility is healthy. The songwriters of Israel knew how important it is to see our foolishness apart from God (Ps. 73:22; Prov. 30:2). Jesus Himself showed us that without God we won't accomplish anything of lasting value (John 5:30; 15:5).

But we read a warning in the story of Moses. There's a downside to insisting that we are "nobody" if it is to avoid doing what God commands (Ex. 4:1-7). Our motives make us into somebody who resists the loving purposes of God.

We may treat ourselves and others as having no worth. But remember, God doesn't make nobodies. Like Moses, if we surrender to God, we can do anything God wants us to do - in His strength. - Mart De Haan

Lord, take my life and make it wholly Thine;

Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine.

Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;

I now surrender, Lord - in me abide. - Orr

Without Christ we can do nothing. With Him we can do everything He wants us to do.

Father Lord, I am here for You...

Is there anything I can be done without You?... I don't think so... means, I have to live with You no matter what...

I thought I am someone quiet independent... I can do a lot of stuff without any help... but now, I am just being remind once again, I am not doing things individually... You are always there be with me...

I do know that You prefer those who present themselves as 'nobody'... I am still learning about it... it is something seems to be easy, but quiet hard to make it... as I need to find a point to balance between God's will and mine...

Get in Your way is the right way... but, I am not sure am I in it... or I am somewhere else...

Come Holy Spirit... fall on me now...

I need Your anointing... come in Your power...

I love you Holy Spirit... You're captivating my soul...

And everyday... I grow to love You more...

I am reaching for Your heart... You hold my life in Your hand...

Drawing me closer to You... I feel Your power renew...

Nothing compare to this place... Where I can see You face to face...

I worship You... in spirit and in truth... - City Harvest Church
