"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor." - James 4:10
I love the notes I read on this passage...
Bowing in humility before the Lord means recognizing our worth comes from God alone. To be humble means leaning on his power and his guidance, and not going our own independent way. Although we do not deserve God's favor, he wants to lift us up and give us worth and dignity, despite our human shortcomings.
This is probably one of the greatest ways we can draw close to God. By simply bowing in humility, understanding that all we are is because of him. Our worth and our dignity is because of his favor. Nothing more.
Living in his power, leaning on his guidance, humbling myself...
pin and save for later
