A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. (Proverbs 29:23)
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: (1 Peter 5:6)
Charles Spurgeon

Humility leads to honor

Humility leads to honor and submission is the way to exaltation. We must humble ourselves before God and accept His punishment with deep submission. Our exaltation can only come when the time is right, and we must wait in quiet submission for it. Read more...

Brandt Gillespie : This morning, as I was arising, I was struck by the verses in Isaiah about asking The Lord to rend the heavens and come down, to manifest His power and glory. But I was challenged to really examine my heart again. Seeing today’s commentary by Spurgeon on humility again underscores my own sense of self-examination so that I’m not secretly wanting God to rend the heavens and come down because of any personal reason. I pray that my desires to see Him revealed and reveared are purely for He and His purposes. Blessings, Brandt
