FAITH CAPSULE: God’s sight is always set to spot and reward ones with humble spirit.

James 4

In this wicked world, one with the spirit of humility shall possibly live on earth as if it is living in heaven. Living heaven on earth shall be as living in position of overcoming challenges of wicked world. One with spirit of humility is set to be lifted above where no wickedness exists.  Word of God admonished us, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” (James 4:10) With spirit of humility, while in this wicked world, one is bound to be in the high and holy where God is as Isaiah 57:15 stated, “For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit…”
God does not lie; God shall not ignore to look down not to lift humble ones up to Him. God alone pays attention to every affair under heaven. It is written, He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see? (Psalm 94:9) God sees, hear and not look away to draw humble up that is loyal and obey His command. 2 Chronicles 16:9 buttressed, “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him…” Indeed, God will lift humble ones in His sight above all wickedness of the wicked world.
Word of God encourages us today as stated, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. (Philippians 2:5-8)  Today, desire and strive for His grace to have the mind of Christ which is humble to become obedient to God’s command.
God’s sight is always ready, He is set to spot and reward those with humble spirit.
Among the blessings of having humble mind in the pages of bible are:
2Chronicles 7:14 stated, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Humility before God is a catalyst that drive’s prayer and seeking God to get answer from God.
Psalm 25:9, “The humble He guides in justice, and the humble He teaches His way.” Be humble to take position under His guidance and teaching.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of humility.
