Humility

My recent gospel study has included a focus on humility. This is an attribute of which I would very much like to have a larger portion. In today's study, I found the following scripture and quotation that are helpful in better understanding what it takes to be humble.

“I do this for a wise purpose; for thus it whispereth me, according to the workings of the Spirit of the Lord which is in me. And now, I do not know all things; but the Lord knoweth all things which are to come; wherefore, he worketh in me to do according to his will” (Mormon 1:7).

“Men changed for Christ will be captained by Christ. Like Paul they will be asking, ‘Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?’ (Acts 9:6.) Peter stated they will ‘follow his steps.’ (1 Pet. 2:21.) John said they will ‘walk, even as he walked.’ (1 Jn. 2:6.)” (Ezra Taft Benson, "Born of God", Ensign, July 1989, 2).

What a different world it would be if every man would humbly submit his will to the will of God--if they would say from the depths of their heart, "Not as I will, but as thou wilt" (Matthew 26:39). I'm going to strive with greater diligence to show this kind of humility.
