God Gives Grace To The Humble

                               God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble - James 4:6.

              God lifts us up when we are humble. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up - James 4:10. He gives grace to the humble. Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time - 1 Peter 5:5,6.

                God resists the proud.  Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord - Proverbs 16:5. Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall - Proverbs 16:18. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down - Daniel 4:37. The Spirit of pride is not of the Lord. For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father, but is of the world - 1 John 2:16.

            God wants us to be humble. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God - Micah 6:8. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way - Psalm 25:9. Let us receive the grace of God and His guidance by being humble. Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble - Proverbs 3:34. For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory - Psalm 149:4.                                                

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to be humble and make us more like You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
