Matthew 12:19 NIV

[19] He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear his voice in the streets.

This is God describing His chosen servant being Jesus. God said he will put His spirit in him and he will bring justice and truth to the nations. But through this time, Jesus will not boast or argue because there is no one other to please other than The Lord. I feel like this is very much a message for us, Gods young disciples or the upcoming generation. It's teaching us to be humble and filled with humility. When we do something good we have to realize God is pleased and no one else has to know anything about it. In victory, we need to stay humble and not boast because all of the glory is going to God and no one else. Sometimes when we do something awesome, we want to tell everyone about it, but God wants "no one in the streets to hear our voice" or in other words just to keep our words to ourselves and keep our mouths shut. 

I will apply this to my life by just practicing to become a more humble person. I need to realize that no one needs to know about a victory except for God, the very one who put us on this earth to do His heavenly work. I will work at being more humble through victory, and more gracious through defeat. No one needs to hear about our victories, because there is no thing we owe more than Jesus for giving his life on that cross for our sins. 

Dear god, 

Thank you for bringing me hear and opening up my heart on this trip. I have learned so much lord and will treasure this knowledge forever. You have made me bold and allowed me to do things I didn't think possible which just proves you are an AWESOME God who loves and cares for us. Please help me to be more humble and gracious in my wins and losses. There is no one I rather please than you. In Jesus name I pray amen.
