Humility: True Greatness

Humility: True Greatness

â‚¬Å“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.â‚¬Â â‚¬"1 Peter 5:5

A battle rages within every one of us every day. Itâ‚¬s the clash between our sense of stubborn self-sufficiency and Godâ‚¬s call to recognize that weâ‚¬re really nothing without Him. Itâ‚¬s pride versus humility. And itâ‚¬s a fight we canâ‚¬t win without looking repeatedly to Christ and the cross. C. J. Mahaney raises a battle cry to daily, diligently, and deliberately weaken our greatest enemy (pride) and cultivate our greatest friend (humility). His thorough examination clarifies misconceptions, revealing the truth about why God detests pride and turns His active attention to the humble. Because pride is never passive, defeating it demands an intentional attack. The blessing that follows is Godâ‚¬s abundant favor.

â‚¬Å“This is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit.â‚¬Â
â‚¬"Isaiah 66:2,Â ESV

God clearly states that He is drawn to the humble. Heâ‚¬s also clear that He opposes the proud. These two, humility and pride, cannot coexist. Where one is fostered, the other is defeated. Which will you pursue? When you acknowledge the deception of pride and intentionally humble yourself, you become free to savor abundant mercies and unlikely graces. You will find a new life is yoursâ‚¬"a life God richly favors. A God-glorifying life you donâ‚¬t want to miss.
