HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE THE LORD

” HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE THE LORD AND HE WILL LIFT YOU UP. ” JAMES 4:10

It is not easy to be humble. It is actually harder than one might think. We are surrounded by the influences of this world where the attitude is to take care of yourself first and think of others later. We are taught to always take care of ourselves first and foremeost. Sometimes people even take that to the extreme. They will go out of their way to hurt others in order to be sure they have taken care of themselves first. However, the Lord tells us to do just the opposite. We are to humble ourselves. We are to think of others as better than ourselves. We are to think of others first and put ourselves in the back of the line. Sometimes we find that we are trying to out guess the Lord or trying to do things on our own instead of turning them over to him. He has promised to take care of us in every and all situations. We will be successful if we just humble ourselves before him. Let him take the reins and guide us. Let him make decisions for us. If we do, he promises that he will lift us up. Our lives here on earth will be so much better as we have a God in heaven who loves us more than we can believe. All we have to do is trust him. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
