James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Humble (verb): to lower yourself (or someone else) in dignity or importance<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Being humble is a big part of surrendering. If we are to truly surrender ourselves to God, we can\u2019t do so if we are proud or haughty. We can\u2019t do so if we have a high opinion of ourselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God has to come first, and we have to put ourselves beneath Him. And in many cases, He will also ask us to put ourselves beneath others. We can\u2019t serve someone that we think we are better than.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If we need a perfect example of humility, all we need to do is look at Jesus. He was humble in every aspect, even in surrendering His life willingly, knowing that He had the power to do otherwise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mark 10:45 (NKJV) 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pride is the opposite of what God has called us to. Pride is shameful and will keep us from fulfilling the call of God on our lives. Pride will destroy us if we don\u2019t get a handle on it and remove it from our lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, if we desire to be lifted up, we need to let God be the One to do the lifting. He has promised to do so if we will just humble ourselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And when God does something, He does it right the first time. Amen<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
