humble king.

I like days like today. It’s cold and rainy out…the perfect day for staying in with Ayden and William. I enjoyed an amazing cup of chai, and have been looking at the book of James. There is so much for the Lord to teach me in these verses.

James 4:6b-10 says:
Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud , but gives grace to the humble.” Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

I think I will be studying this book for a while. These words today are what I believe my heart needs to hear. I need to remember that He opposes (acts against and heartily resists) the proud; that He gives grace to the humble.

I love this song by Brenton Brown. It is my prayer today. So thankful that this is the God I serve and who pursues my heart with relentless love. I want to be like you, Jesus; to have this heart in me. You are the God of the humble. You are the humble King.
