“But He giveth more grace. Wherefore He saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble”.

Prayer Topics

The word of God says that; if we humans say we have not sin before then we are deceiving ourselves and this shows that the truth is not in us.

Points to Note

Humility is one of the essential virtues for our relationship with God. God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. It is grace and favour that leads us to receive divine blessings from God.

God resists the proud; Pride is a barrier between us and God. It causes us to rely on our own strength, wisdom and ability instead of recognizing that our dependence is on God. We have to realize that it is God who brings promotion. So if we want to receive something from God, we should learn to humble ourselves.

Without God, we are nobody but with God we are who we are by the grace of God. To avoid God’s resistance, we as believers must actively root out pride from our heart. We need to acknowledge that every blessing and success comes from above.

God gives grace to the humble. Humility opens door to God’s grace. Humility involves a deep sense of submission to God’s will and acknowledging our limitations. God’s grace empowers us to live a righteous life. It is by God’s grace that we walk closely with God.
