Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED LIFE IS MARKED BY HUMILITY
Reading: Proverbs 29:21-23
Proverbs 29:23 (KJV)
A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
One of my favourite Sunday School songs is found in James 4:10, which says,
"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up." This song, "He will lift you up" keeps echoing in my head everyone.
Pride has landed many in destruction. Where they were told not to go; what they were told not to do, they kept deaf ears, and this led to their fall.
Although men may oppose you because of your humility and take you for granted, God will honour. It is better to be opposed by men than to be opposed by God; for God opposes the proud (see James 4:6). It is also a dangerous thing to fall into the hands of God, so humble yourself before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
Shalom.
Let's Pray:
Mighty Jehovah, to You belong all power. O Lord, increase in us that we may decrease, in Jesus' name. Amen.
