Functional Humility - Part 2

2.  Functional Humility is seen in the ability to work hard – even in challenging and uncertain times

2  While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."  Acts 13:2

5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. 2 Tim 4:5

3.  Functional humility demands the ability to bounce back in disappointment.

Mark 14: 32-36

32 They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray." 

33 He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 

34 "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death," he said to them. "Stay here and keep watch." 

35 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. 

36 "Abba, Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will."
