Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.<\/strong><br>\u2013 <em>James 4:6 (KJV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there is any attitude that God hates, it is pride. Through the Old Testament to the New Testament, we continually see examples of people who were very proud and arrogant who became disgraced. We also see several people of a humble heart who were exalted above their peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listing things that the Lord hates, Solomon mentions pride before any other thing. (Proverbs 6:16\u201317) The sin of pride is one which God particularly hates because this was the iniquity that was found in Lucifer (Satan) in the beginning. He was the Lord&#8217;s anointed cherub, but he became lifted up with pride. (Ezekiel 28:14\u201315, Isaiah 14:12\u201315) So for Lucifer (Satan), he tried to exalt himself and God cast him down. On the other hand, Jesus made himself of no reputation and God lifted him up. (Philippians 2:6\u201311)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So evidently, the saying is very true that God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. He cast down Lucifer and exalted Christ to sit on His right hand. This is echoed several times in Scripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.<\/strong><br>\u2013 <em>Proverbs 18:12 (NIV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One very crucial thing we must note here is that God personally resists the proud person. In other words, while they may think the devil is opposing them, it is actually God who is opposing them. And the reason God does this is because if they have power, they will oppress others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prayer:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heavenly Father, please search me and rid me of every root of pride and bitterness so that I will walk worthy of Your calling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But he giveth more grace.
