Surrender to Humility
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.—James 4:10 (NIV)
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.—2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV
God’s promise is not that life will be easy but that the journey will be worth it. One of the best measures of your faith is how much you trust God when blessings don’t seem to be flowing. In these times, take your eyes off of your problems and focus on God. Life’s most valuable experiences are often found amidst the toughest times.
Lord, the weight of my problems dissolves in the light of Your grace and glory.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.—James 4:10 (NIV)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.—Galatians 5:22–23 (NIV)

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.—1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV)
