God Gives Grace to the Humble

Psalms 149: 4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation. Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. 1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Psalms 25:9 He leads the humble in what is right and teaches the humble his way.

Humility is something that is gained as we train ourselves to be humble God leads us into what is right and teaches us His ways. We also are given a gift of His grace from Him and we grow in His wisdom. It is a state of mind well pleasing to God and as we surrender our flesh and allow His Spirit to flow through us and transform us to live and walk in the Spirit, we are given patience through every trial or opposition, our soul is then preserved in tranquility. Humility is the opposite of pride and as we realize in the end it’s not about us but it’s all about Him, we are on our way to experience a life of excellent living!

Whatever opposition comes our way God allows it only for our own good so we can grow to be more like Jesus. We need to face opposition head on and position ourselves in Christ through His Spirit and not give into the flesh.

P – Prepare and put on the armor of God. Praise Him in all circumstances.

O – Don’t oppose or give into your old ways, don’t feed the flesh

S – Submit and surrender to the Holy Spirit, stand on God’s promises and be strong

I – with new insight see deeper into the inner man or woman God has called you

T – Trust in the Lord, and take away negative thoughts,

I – Let it inspire you to grow and be an inspiration to others

O- Don’t let opposition overcome you but be an overcomer

N- it is Not about you so don’t give into the natural (flesh) but take on God’s nature

through His Holy Spirit.

I will clothe myself in humility and grace, In order to do this, I must seek His face. I’ll give in to each lesson for I know I will learn, to be more like Jesus wherever I turn. Whatever befalls me be it bitter or sweet no room for the flesh in the Spirit I’m complete, Nothing is greater than to be more like Him I’ll adorn myself with His beauty deep within, In every opposition I’ll let Him have His way For in Christ I am commissioned, I surrender all to Him this day

Dear Jesus

May I be more like You In everything I do, Take all pride and selfish things, That would hold me back from You, Lord I pray you keep me humble, whatever people say or do, Let me see their heart with Your eyes so I am more like You. Don’t let my flesh take over but keep me close to you, Holy Spirit fill me now I pray, I can’t do it without You. Make me more like Jesus, In everything I do. Amen and Amen

God bless and may these words encourage you. In His Love, Lollita
