One of the books I am reading right now is titled, Flickering Pixels: How Technology Shapes Your Faith, by Shane Hipps. In this book, Hipps spends a chapter discussing how our perception often shapes our reality. In fact, if the truth be told, we build our lives around what believe to be true. And of course, that is how it should be.
But what happens when we realize that some element we have always believed to be true turns out to be false?
Stay with me – I promise I am not out in left field. But here is what I want us to see today – we should live our lives built on the truth as best we understand it. But when our understanding of truth becomes an arrogant certainty, we have gone too far.
Hipps uses a great phrase to remind us of where we stand with this issue of holding our ground when it comes to our beliefs: daring humility. He says this:
Daring humility is honest enough to admit that we see things in a mirror dimly, and bold enough to live a life of deep conviction anyway.
While we need to admit we do not have all the answers, we need to hold fast to what we believe.
Practice daring humility today!
