Surrender to Humility
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.—James 4:10 (NIV)
But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”—Matthew 3:14 NIV
Have you ever argued with God? Shook your fist at an outcome or a situation? Made choices that have gone against His instructions? In the above Bible verse, after listening, John ultimately agreed to follow God. The next time you don’t agree with God’s instructions, instead of arguing—listen.
Thank You, Lord, for the wisdom of Your Word. I am open and ready to hear what You need to say to me.

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)
