Regardless of what you believe created you and everything else, the fact is you are at it’s mercy.
This is an extract from a Christian website. It begins with a quote.
"Humility, the place of entire dependence on God, is, from the very nature of things, the first duty and the highest virtue of the creature, and the root of every virtue. — Andrew Murray, Humility (p. 6)
Humility is not about looking down on ourselves; it’s about not looking to ourselves at all! The first step in humility is dependency. The independent arrogance of modern man is astounding. We need to stop and think sometimes: where did the air come from that we breathe into our lungs? Did we create it? Or what about our lungs, did we craft them? Or our eyes, did we design them? Or the mind, did it think itself into existence? We are already, as Murray says, ‘at the place of entire dependence on God’. The issue is whether we will acknowledge it. Only our pride can stop us from admitting the truth that we are totally dependent on God. Pride blinds us to reality, humility opens our eyes."
How can you not be humbled by the infinite creation of whatever created it all?
