The Wellspring of Spiritual Blessings ~~

KEY VERSE: James 4:10

"Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up." - bible

THE grace of God is the wellspring of all spiritual blessings. Grace gives and gives, superabounding in its measure and effectiveness. How then can you cease striving, get off the performance treadmill, and learn to walk in such rich and plentiful grace?

Here is the key: the more you humble yourself before God, the more you receive the fullness of God's grace.

God "gives grace to the humble" (1 Peter 5:5). Not to the strong, but to the weak. Not to the self-sufficient, but to the dependent. Not to the proud, but to the poor of spirit. You humble yourself by realizing the majesty of God, worshiping Him as the mighty God.

The more you adore and praise the Saviour, the more highly you think of Him. You can do much, but it is so little when compared to what you may accomplish when God directs and empowers you.

Humbling yourself does not belittle your self-esteem or worth to God. It positions you to receive your sustenance from the Source of all good things, Jesus Christ. As a humble believer, you surrender yourself on the grace of God, leaning your full weight on Him. You draw all your strength, peace, joy, and security from the sufficiency of God's generous grace. ~ cross

"I surrender myself upon Your mercy, O Lord. I lean on You and draw my strength, peace, joy, and security from Your sufficiency. I praise You, my Lord, Saviour, and Redeemer." prayer
