“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.” James 4:6
The proud takes ownership over their successes and worldly possessions. They tend to boast of what they have and their achievements. They believe success comes from their natural skills and talents.
Pride is placing yourself above God and will lead to trouble. You are denying God and putting your faith in self.
The spiritual man understands that every good thing in life comes from God and he praises God for everything in his life. He boasts of the goodness of God. He believes in his heart that God is the source of everything in his life.
Humility is a gift from God. You see the power and glory of the Living God and you fall on your knees over His wonder and greatness. You understand He is the author of life and you are just a passing vapor trail.
There is no reason to be proud when you recognize God can shake the earth, turn the sun into darkness, walk on water, and raise people from the dead. Your destiny begins and ends with God!
Pray for humility and a deeper understanding of God. Ask God to help you live by this truth “In Him we live and move and have our being”!
Thought for the day:
“Acknowledge Me in all your ways. I am the author of life and all things come through Me.”
