Scripture:
James 4:10 (KJV)
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.”
Empowering Devotion:
Humility is a virtue that draws us closer to God. It is the recognition that we are fully dependent on Him, acknowledging that all we have and all we are come from His grace. In a world that often glorifies pride and self-sufficiency, God calls us to a different path—the path of surrender, meekness, and humility.
Pride can be a silent hindrance in our spiritual walk. It keeps us from acknowledging our weaknesses, seeking help, or fully surrendering to God’s will. Yet, Scripture reminds us that when we humble ourselves before the Lord, He will lift us up. True humility is not about thinking less of ourselves, but about thinking of God more—placing Him at the center of our lives, decisions, and desires.
Lent is a time to examine whether pride has taken root in our hearts. Are we relying on our own strength instead of trusting God? Are we seeking recognition rather than serving with a heart of humility? As we reflect today, let us ask God to cultivate in us a spirit of humility, that we may walk in His grace and favor.
Inspiring Prayer:
Father, I thank You because I know You hear me. Let Your will be done in my life as I walk in humility before You. Strip away any pride, self-sufficiency, or arrogance that hinders my relationship with You. Teach me to depend on You completely, acknowledging that all I have comes from You.
Help me to serve others with a humble heart, to love without seeking recognition, and to submit fully to Your perfect will. May my life reflect the humility of Christ, who laid down His glory to fulfill Your purpose.
I surrender my heart to You, Lord. Lift me up according to Your will, and let my life bring You glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
