Surrender to Humility
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.—James 4:10 (NIV)
Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived.—Judges 16:30 (NIV)
Samson’s greatest victory wasn’t his defeat of the Philistines in the above verse. It was in his grim moment, when he was broken and returned to God praying, “Sovereign Lord, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more.” (Judges 16:28)
Heavenly Father, please show me what I need to do to build a strong relationship with You.

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)
