Reference text: Luke 17:7-10
A short video popped up on my reels recently and the message paraphrased was that not everyone is humble by default. Anyone can therefore be described as humble, but is their humility only visible because a lack of opportunity? An absence of wealth, power and influence? Or is it a real intentional choice to be humble?
The reason intentional choice becomes the defining factor is because it is only when a choice is involved that you can truly engage your own will. Think about the very beginning – in Eden, there were two trees, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. If there was no choice to make, what was the point?
In the parable we read from Luke 17:7-10, a servant had been in the field all day only to arrive home and be required to wait on his master. Now in that moment, they had to make a choice and engage their will to do so. They had to decide: will I continue in service or simply rebel.

Beloved, you may be claiming obedience simply because you have not had the chance or resources to disobey. The true state of your heart is laid bare when options are placed before you
