James 4:10 (LSB) 10 Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
The importance of humility before God is often overlooked in the big scheme of things.
We may understand that it is important. But we may also fail to recognize how important it is.
Therefore, it frequently gets neglected.
If we were to look at this objectively and honestly, we would see that humility before God is the foundation of our relationship with Him.
It takes humility to admit that we need Him.
It takes humility to recognize that without Him we are lost and condemned to hell.
And it takes humility to surrender ourselves to him in obedience.
If we could just get those three areas right, so many other areas of our lives would begin to fall into place. Many of our problems would slowly disappear.
Why?
Because we would be subjecting ourselves to the Kingship of Jesus Christ and allowing God to change our hearts so that we would live and walk more like Him.
Have you ever noticed how much humility is required to admit when we are wrong?
Or how about when we realize we have wronged someone and we need to repent and apologize, asking for forgiveness.
We need to multiply that humility exponentially to understand the level of humility that is required in our walk with God.
And what does the word of God say will happen when we put this into practice?
He will exalt us.
1 Peter 5:6 (LSB) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,
