We may see many demonstrations of strength and power in our lives. There are times that we could even feel the need to show off our strength or our willingness to fight in order to climb higher on the ladder. While we may need to stand up for ourselves, we also need to remember the value of humility and the power of God!
In our journeys through life, we will get knocked down. We will see others undercut us as a means for gaining prestige or power. We may feel that we need to "puff ourselves up" in order to gain what we deserve. However, God reminds us that He knows us, knows our hearts, and knows what we need. We should, therefore, be humble and trusting in Him. With humility and faith, we can be sure that God will lift us up when the time is right!
Be humble and have faith as you wait on God's hand to lift you up!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for reminding me that You are powerful and by my side. Help me to be humble, to grow in my faith, and to wait for Your time in all things. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
