SG ACTIVITY: HUMBLING TEST

Here goes another Small Group activity we did.

Procedure

Let the participants lay their right palm flat on the ground or table.  If the answer is, "Yes," they shall raise the finger as instructed.

Question #1: "If you are married, raise your thumb high up."
Question #2: "If you are married to a fabulous/amazing spouse, raise your pinkie high up."
Question #3: "If you think marriage is the greatest gift from God, raise your index finger."
Question #4: Here is the last question.  And I asked the participants to be really honest in their answer.  "If you think you are the best spouse your spouse could ever ask for, raise your ring finger up high."

It is practically impossible to raise the ring finger with knuckles and other fingers down.


Take Away

This activity is a reminder that we shall be humble as God taught us to be.  A humble spouse.  A humble servant.  A humble child.  A humble co-worker.  A humble friend.  A humble person in general.  See how practically impossible to raise the ring finger when asked about how great of a spouse we are, that should be the attitude of our hearts too.

These verses I pray so that God continues to humble me before His eyes.

"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." -- James 4:6 (NKJV)

"If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness." -- 2 Corinthians 11:30 (NIV)

May this be a blessing!
