Humbling that lifts
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.
James 4:10
In chapter 4, James describes the struggle within the believers and points out that the struggles are because of their fleshly desires of wanting to have what others had, wanting more than others, wanting to show their position in the society.
Instead of going to God and humbling themselves and asking for their need, they were fighting against each other.
They were struggling with many problems because they were not willing to submit themselves to the will of God.
This is a lesson we can learn from the James chapter 4 believers.
We too often struggle with many needs and instead of submitting our needs to God, we try to meet our needs by ourselves.
We make plans to earn more than others, we plan to buy things by looking at what others have, we plan to send our children to different programs because we see others do it, instead of humbling ourselves and going to God and asking what He wants us to do, or asking Him to meet our needs.
Today God is showing you a path to struggle free life. Not only a path to struggle free life, but a path which will lift you up in honor.
Humbling yourselves before the Lord is that path, which will give you a struggle free life and lift you up in honor.
It is the humbling that lifts. So humble yourself before the LORD, and He will lift you up and honor you.
