Good Morning! Be encouraged today, humility is the way!
“But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” (James 4:6)
It’s often difficult to see pride in our own lives. However, God is looking at the hearts of His people. He expects us to walk in humility and admit we can’t do anything on our own. Humility is important because it sets things in proper order and perspective. Yes, it’s great to be educated and be experienced, those things are all important in our lives. However, God is expecting us to clothe ourselves in humility that our eyes can see through the lens of Christ Jesus. Also, to recognize that we are not above anyone, rather, we are all unique children of God, equal in the sight of God.
Morning Prayer: Father God, we pray for the heart position of humility. Today we ask for Your help to walk humbly with our brothers and sisters. Grant us the grace that others may be esteemed more than ourselves It’s all too easy for us to fall prey to our flesh and to walk in arrogance, but pride causes division and we desire peace. Lord, help us to humble ourselves so that we will stop attempting to be better than others, and we can love their hearts for the unique person You made them to be. Help us to value one another in this humble spirit allowing for us to have open hearts and minds to move and be moved by the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
