More Grace!

James 4: 6

⁶ But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

 

This verse seems simple enough to understand.

I counseled into the late hours of the night last night, and that meeting could’ve gone a lot smoother (and shorter), had there been an ounce of humility.

 

That’s why this devotional is later than it should’ve been.

In what state are you in this morning? Humble or proud?

 

God gives His grace to the humble at heart.

He actually opposes the proud.

 

Grace is the Divine influence of God, flowing into, and out of our hearts.

No humility…no rich flow of grace.

 

Maybe grace isn’t what the church has thought it to be all these years.

Maybe the reason people are struggle so much with rebellion, is because they aren’t humble.

 

An attitude of pride and rebellion, will never, ever lead us to a good place.

The Apostle Peter knew all about humility. He wrote a lot about it, too.

 

He said…We’re supposed to clothe ourselves in humility…We’re supposed to humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God.

Maybe the reason people aren’t experiencing the flow, is that they haven’t yet learned to bow low?

 

That’s something to consider, as we go about our day
