The Word:
Proud vs Humble
James 4:6
...But HE gives more grace, wherefore HE said, God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Our current world and the world to come are polar opposites - to become rich here you must gain the more -but to become rich in the world that is to come is to give it all away - to be first JESUS says - you must be servant to all - these are hard words on the ears of those in 2008. God has not changed what is right - and His ways are still not our ways - and sadly one look around the world will show you some things never change! The things in this world we hold on to - won't be coming with us - we may try and keep it up here but one day we all leave this place for our true home - here we are just passing though -there are many people who are so comfortable here that the thought of a place called heaven seems foreign to them - while others who have struggled from one thing or another all their lives - really do look forward to eternity with Jesus - I am afraid many of us in this great land have gotten too much - we have bought into the line that more means more while ignoring the treasures in Heaven JESUS wants us to build - we are all in the same boat - its a wrestle between being Proud like the world and Humble like Jesus - we have to pick sides because we cannot be both - no more of this one foot in this world and one in the next -we either belong to JESUS CHRIST or we don't - God has called us to be humble -Jesus says that He will give grace to the humble - to come to be a child of God you must begin humbly - pride comes before a fall says Proverbs - and its true - we all must come to God the same way -the same narrow path - we all have to come to JESUS at the foot of the cross where He paid the price for our sin - we must be willing to esteem others over ourselves -this does not jive well with the world in which we live- its your choice -either be humble with God or go away into the world and be full of self - we must make room for God in our hearts! We must not fill it up with this world but with JESUS Himself!
The Final Word:
The Word says that God resists the proud - what a bad place to be!
CHRIST became a servant for us - the Ruler become part of His creation! Talk about changing positions!
