James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Humility.
It’s something most of us never realize that we’re lacking, until our pride causes us to come crashing down.
Only after we’ve fallen do we see where we’ve been prideful.
Only after we’ve fallen do we see how pride has crept into our lives and caused us to stray from the path that God had set before us.
It happens to all of us at one time or another and in varying degrees. We can become prideful over little things or big things. Either way, pride leads to a fall.
Did you know that God resists the proud? That’s pretty heavy duty stuff. He literally opposes prideful people.
1 Peter 5:5 (NKJV) 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.
The scripture above mentions young people, but this verse applies to everyone, regardless of age or gender. God really does oppose the proud.
So do we want God to be opposed to us? I know I don’t!
So let’s ask God to show us where we’re prideful. Lets ask Him to help us change and get rid of our pride and arrogance.
Let’s give God permission to root this out of us and create in us a clean heart, one that stays humble and childlike in his sight.
Psalm 51:10 (NKJV)10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
