GOD SHOWS FAVOUR TO THE HUMBLE
“But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
James 4:6
We live in a world that rewards the loudest in the room, those who promote themselves, insist on their own way, and rely entirely on their own strength. This spirit of pride tells us that we must be self-made and self-sufficient to succeed. However, the economy of God's kingdom works in the opposite way.
Pride acts as a barrier between God and us, it is the belief that we don't need Him, which essentially pushes His help away. The scripture warns that God "opposes the proud," not because He lacks love, but because pride refuses to receive what He offers.
The beautiful promise here is that God gives us more grace. No matter how big our struggles or how deep our failures, there is always a supply of grace that is larger. But there is a key that unlocks this door, humility.
Humility is not thinking poorly of ourselves, it is simply being honest about our need for God. It is the act of bowing our hearts and admitting, Lord, I cannot do this on my own. When we take that position of lowliness, we find that God doesn't look down on us; He rushes toward us with favor. Humility is the magnet that attracts the grace of God.
Today, let’s choose the path of humility. If you feel like you are hitting a wall or experiencing opposition in your spirit, take a moment to check for pride. Are you trying to carry the weight of your world on your own shoulders? Are you insisting on being right rather than being loving?
When we let go of our need to be in control and humble ourselves before Him, He promises to lift us up. There is more grace waiting for you today, more than enough for your stress, your decisions, and your relationships. All we have to do is be humble enough to ask for it.
God bless you!
