Be of A Humble Spirit

PRIDE GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION, AND A HAUGHTY
   SPIRIT BEFORE A FALL.  BETTER TO BE OF A HUMBLE
   SPIRIT WITH THE LOWLY, THAN TO DIVIDE THE SPOIL
   WITH THE PROUD.
                      ( PROVERBS 16:18-19 *NKJV )

Destructive pride can be a major stumbling block in your
   Christian walk!   We are as God's Children to be of a humble
   spirit.  For it is written; GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT
   GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE. ( 1 PETER 5:5 )  It is also
   written; FOR THUS SAYS THE HIGH AND LOFTY ONE WHO
   INHABITS ETERNITY, WHOSE NAME IS HOLY:" I DWELL
   IN THE HIGH AND HOLY PLACE, WITH HIM WHO HAS A
   CONTRITE AND HUMBLE SPIRIT."   ( ISAIAH 57:15 )

      Now our Savior Jesus Christ, speaking of entering the
   Kingdom of Heaven said, "AND INDEED THERE ARE
   LAST WHO WILL BE FIRST, AND THERE ARE FIRST
   WHO WILL BE LAST." ( LUKE 13:30 )  Also Jesus' brother
   wrote: HE GIVES MORE GRACE THEREFORE HE SAYS:
   "GOD RESISTS THE PROUD BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE
   HUMBLE." ( JAMES 4:6 )

       So, HUMBLE YOURSELVES UNDER THE
   MIGHTY HAND OF GOD, THAT HE MAY EXALT YOU IN
   DUE TIME, CASTING ALL YOUR CARE UPON HIM,
   FOR HE CARES FOR YOU.   Amen.
   ( 1 PETER 5:6-7 )
