He Who Humbles Himself Will Be Exalted

              God crowns the humble with victory. He crowns the humble with victory - Psalm 149:4. He gives wisdom to the humble and guides them in what is right. When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom - Proverbs 11:2. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way - Psalm 25:9.

         God exalted Jesus by giving Him the name above every name as He humbled Himself and came to the world in the appearance of man. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father - Philippians 2:8-11.

             God rewards the people who are humble. The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life - Proverbs 22:4. Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be - Job 8:7. Let us humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God to be exalted. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time - 1 Peter 5:6. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love - Ephesians 4:2.                                                 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to be humble like how You are gentle and humble in heart. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
