Lifting power of humility!
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
James 4:10
People define pride in many different ways. People may say you are proud because you are a quiet person. People may say you are proud because you are tall and confident. People may say you are proud because you drive a nice, shiny air-conditioned car.
So what really is pride? Does it matter whether you are humble or proud? Indeed it does matter! We must humble ourselves before the Lord. We must live in a way that God considers to be humble.
The instructions are clear! Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and not in the sight of man. There is no point in practicing a brand of humility that God does not accept. Humility is a virtue defined and described by God Himself. Human beings define humility in many different ways but God’s definition of humility is what matters to us. But the warnings about pride are too frightening to ignore the virtue of humility.
Your brother in Christ,
Apostle Ashok Martin
