James 4:10 “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift You up?”
Oh Lord, what a wonderful promise! To have You lift me up sounds so exciting. Not to lift me up for myself, but for Your glory. So why is it so hard to humble myself? Even after all this You have taught me over and over again, I still caught myself recently promoting my own agenda and had to ask You for forgiveness. Sometimes I feel like Paul when he said that he did the things he shouldn’t and didn’t do the things he should; who will deliver us from this living death? I know the answer is YOU!
I know that I have been crucified with You and that I no longer live but You live in me. I desperately do not want to disgrace You with my life, Lord. I bow to Your will and Way in my life. Help me to bury my “self” so deep that I cannot exhume the body and no one else will be able to find the grave!
