The fruits of holy obedience are many, but two that are linked closely are passion for personal holiness and the sense of utter humility (Thomas Kelly).
When we are out to fully obey God we gain a craving in our soul for absolute purity.
When we are out to fully obey God we find out that only God counts! Humility overtakes us.
Humility can be cultivated in what John Ortberg has called the discipline of “secrecy.” This is a discipline where we learn to serve others or do the right thing and then not tell anyone!
Serve in silence. This week, serve another and try not to let them know you did it for them. If they find out, let it be by accident, not design. Relish the secrecy of the act and thank God for the lesson.
