Word for the day "The Spirit of Humility"

I Peter 5:6b (KJV) Be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.In our day the call is to esteem yourself, believe in yourself, promote yourself and reward yourself. But God’s word calls us to humility. The Lord despises arrogant pride and has always resisted the proud. God brought devastation to the land of Egypt after Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord that I should obey Him?’ He put king Nebuchadnezzar down on his all fours to eat grass like an animal after he boasted of his accomplishments (Chapter Daniel 4). And Herod was eaten up with worms when he failed to give glory to God (Acts 12:23).As you search your own heart to see if there is pride that needs to be rooted out, consider that humility is an acknowledgement of unworthiness. Jacob declared that he was unworthy of the least of God’s mercies( Genesis 32:10). The publican cried out, “God be merciful to me a sinner.”(Luke 18)!Please understand that Humility is submission to God. You may not understand some of the providences unfolding in your life, but you bow in submission and know God is working His will and accomplishing His purposes. It means believing what God says, accepting what is in His Word and making no attempt to explain it away.Point to point- The spirit of Humility recognizes the need for grace. The humble have a great sense of their own weakness and know they must come to the throne of grace to find mercy and grace to help in time of need. How are you doing with mercy?
