Scripture Reading
James 4:10
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Reflection
Humility is often misunderstood as self-deprecation — thinking poorly of yourself. But biblical humility is more about placement: putting God above self, others before ego. James promises that such lowering is not permanently downward. To be lifted by God is more solid ground than anything we can climb to on our own.
Prayer for Today
Father of love and grace, I rejoice that I am Your child and that I have been saved by the blood of Christ and made a new creation in Him. Thank You that my sins are all forgiven by grace through faith in Him, and that there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.
Lord, I want to surrender my will to Yours and to say daily, Thy will not mine be done. Help me to step out in faith moment by moment as I surrender my life to You. Uphold me with Your righteous right hand and keep me I pray, from falling. Lead me in the paths of righteousness for Your names sake, and guide me into the way everlasting. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
