God Will Lift You Up

"Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."  James 4:10.  We must accept that Jesus is Lord.  A Lord rules.  The subject submits.  Jesus is to be our Lord and Master.   We allow ourselves to be ruled by Him.  We understand His power and authority over our hearts.  We bow in His presence.  We enthrone Him as the King of our lives.  Humility destroys arrogance.  Humility places self behind Jesus.  Humility needs help.  Humility knows insufficiency.  Humility understands weakness.  Jesus can help.  Jesus has all sufficiency.  Jesus has all power.  Humility will clasp His hand.  Humility will seek Him.  The humble know Jesus.  The humble can do nothing without Him.  All things only become possible through Him.  The humble are as beggars in the presence of God.  Humility knows that we cannot, but Jesus can.  Humble ourselves, and He will lift us.  He will lift us in strength.  He will lift us in confidence.  He will lift us from doubt.  He will lift us from weakness.  He will lift us from sin.  Will we not let God lift us?  We will be lifted from the valley of despair and placed on the mountain of hope.  Only when we humble ourselves will we see our spirits soar.
