God delights in a
humble heart. Pride is behind both the fall of the angels and the fall of
humankind. Jesus humbled Himself to become a man and went willingly to a cross
for us. Humility before God allows Him to build us up in our faith.
When
pride comes, there comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Proverbs
11:2
Before a
downfall, the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor. Proverbs 18:12
When we come before
God in all humility, asking for His guidance and surrendering to His will, we
will receive His riches.
Humility
is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life. Proverbs 22:4
Father,
Take away our pride and control. You know what is best.
Discipline and guide us until we come to our knees in humility before You. You
promise us life in You.
In Jesus name,
Amen
