"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time." I Peter 5: 6 NKJV
Our media, institution, and even some parents instruct their children about high and lofty positions. The human tendency to exalt those achieving great things cloaks a truth about mankind’s greatness. The brightest and the best are not the greatest achievers in the spiritual world. The door to spiritual greatness hangs on one truth – HUMILITY.
Because of Adam and Eve’s disobedience, mankind inherited a prideful nature. The elusive nature of spiritual pride hinders the work of the Holy Spirit by veiling our view from future kingdom projects. That is our problem, we often fail to understand or hear the divine instruction – humble yourself before a mighty God. For thousands of years God whispered about humanities downfall – pride. What is humanities response – silence and disobedience?
Time to listen up, people! Don’t miss the message to your soul! The simple truth includes "Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18: 4 The least of us – children, Christ considers the greatest in his kingdom. Why! Because before honor comes humility. The pressure to achieve great things rests on our unwillingness to lower ourselves before Christ. Are you ready for a challenge? Then ask the LORD to humble you and watch the fireworks.
