Day 1
God Opposes the Proud
James 4:6
Clear, easy-to-understand.
God opposes proud people but gives grace to the humble.
Are you receiving God's grace or his resistance?
Pride blocks grace. Humility opens the floodgates.
The path down is the way up.
God opposes proud people but gives grace to the humble.
Are you receiving God's grace or his resistance?
Pride blocks grace. Humility opens the floodgates.
Have the same attitude as Jesus: Though he was God, he didn't cling to his status. He emptied himself, became a servant, and humbled himself to death on a cross.
What status or comfort are you clinging to?
Jesus went from throne to manger to cross β that's humility.
Humble yourselves under God's powerful hand, and at the right time he will lift you up.
Where do you need to lower yourself so God can lift you?
The lower you go, the higher God takes you.
He must become greater; I must become less.
What area of your life needs less of you and more of God?
Spiritual growth is addition by subtraction.
So the last will be first, and the first will be last.
Can you accept being last in the world's eyes?
God's kingdom runs on opposite rules β last is first.
