“God resists the proud, But gives
grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5
Arrogance stiffens the knee so it will not kneel, hardens the
heart so it will not admit to sin.
The heart of pride never confesses,
never repents, never asks for forgiveness.
Indeed, the
arrogant never feel the need for forgiveness. Pride is the hidden reef that
shipwrecks the soul.
To the degree God
hates arrogance, he loves humility.
Isn’t it easy to
see why?
Humility is happy
to do what pride will not.
The humble heart is
quick to acknowledge the need for God, eager to confess sin, willing to kneel
before heaven’s mighty hand.
God has a special
place for the humble of heart.
After 40 Years of
Ministry
I’ve discovered that
nothing lifts the weary soul like the promises of God. This book contains some
of my favorites. Many of them are go- to promises I’ve turned to throughout the
years to encourage others. And to encourage myself. We desperately need them.
We do not need more opinions or hunches; we need the definitive declarations of
our mighty and loving God. He governs the world according to these great and
precious promises.
The circumstances of life
or the promises of God— upon which are you standing?
