Pride and Humility

PROVERBS 22:4 NKJ 4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life.

Humility is the opposite of pride.

Humility does not think it is better than anyone else. “I am what I am by the grace of God.”

1 PETER 5:5 NKJ 5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

A humble person is one who follows God’s instructions, instead of leaning to their own understanding.

Being a humble person does not mean being a loser. A humble person is one who has the proper relationship to God and grasps reality, which is: without God, we can do nothing.

Humility will cause a person to remember their need to pray.

A humble person is one who prefers to suffer wrong rather than do wrong.

Pride will bring you low. Humility will cause God to exalt you.

LUKE 14:11 NKJ 11 “For whoever exalts himself will be abased, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

God cannot exalt proud people without it harming them.

JAMES 4:10 NKJ 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

1 PETER 5:6 NKJ 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,

SAY THIS: Lord, please help me to beware of pride.

Sleep Is A Gift From God

PSALM 127:2 NKJ 2 … He gives His beloved sleep. PROVERBS 3:24 NKJ 24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet. PSALM 3:5 NKJ 5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me. PSALM 4:8 NKJ 8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. We can trust in God and sleep even when we face the storms of life, just as Jesus and Peter did in the following verses. MARK 4:38 NKJ 38 But He was … asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” ACTS 12:6 NKJ 6 And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers … Jesus Approves Rest MARK 6:31 NKJ 31 And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat. MATTHEW 11:28-29 NKJ 28 “Come to Me, all you who labo...

God Gave Us Dominion

GENESIS 1:26,28 NKJ 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” God made a decision when He created human beings. He chose to give us dominion on earth. God had dominion, and He chose to give it to mankind. Notice that God did not say, “Let him (Adam) have dominion.” God said, “Let them (both Adam and Eve – and their descendants) have dominion.” This is something important for us to understand. PSALM 115:16 NKJ 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men. Dominion is the right to make decisions and to ru...
