Good morning beloved, happy Saturday,
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
(James 4:10).
Mankind is a proud creature, exalting himself and seeking his own welfare. We tend to want let others know what we do and how well we have done it.
In Christ it is completely opposite from the world. Jesus set the example in being humble. Paul wrote in Philippians 2:8-9, “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 every name.”
James tells us to, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord…” When we humble ourselves before Him, the Lord will exalt us. God lifts us up when we lift Him up. Jesus said in Luke 14:12, “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled (or put down), and he who humbles himself will exalt himself.”
The Maranatha chorus says, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord; and He will lift you up, higher and higher, and He will lift you up.”
May the Lord help us to humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord, and give Him all the glory. Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.
