James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
How do we remain humble?
We keep ourselves accountable to God’s word. By doing so our attitude, our disposition, our whole being and the way we carry ourselves will be subject to Him.
Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.
Pride is one of the things that the enemy will use to get a believer off course. It will cause great destruction in our life if we don’t catch it and deal with it immediately.
The best way to deal with anything is to be truthful with ourselves, recognize what we are doing and allow God to correct us as His child. He will show us how to get free from it and bring us back to the place we need to be in Him.
Hebrews 12:7 (NKJV) 7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?
He loves us dearly and will help us and keep us safe in our walk as we humbly stay surrendered to Him.
Do we want to be lifted up today? Pay attention to our behavior patterns, specifically pride, and let God grow us into humble believers.
