Without The Lord We Can Do Nothing

 Not only is salvation given to all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as a free gift of God's grace, but His ongoing favor is readily available to every believer, as we journey along the path of life.
 Having been born again of the Spirit, we are called to trust in the Lord with all our heart, and we also have a biblical responsibility to walk in His ways and humble ourselves before Him.
 Humility is a fruit of the Spirit that should be exhibited in every life that lives godly in Christ Jesus, but there is much misunderstanding about biblical humility and what it means to humble one's self before the Lord.
 Humility is not disliking who you are or demeaning yourself in front of others. It is not a deliberate exhibition of self-humbling in order to get others to applaud your achievements, nor is it a wringing of hands or a constant declaration that you are a very very 'humble' person!
 The ones who truly humble themselves in the sight of God are the ones who makes themselves lowly of heart before the Lord, by admitting the greatness of our God and acknowledging His majesty. It is confessing that Without The Lord We Can Do Nothing. It is trusting Him in all things and relying on Him to carry out the good work that He has prepared for us to do in His power and for His glory.
 May we live in the way that Lord requires of all His children. May we submit to God and single-mindedly draw close to Him and humble ourselves in His presence, for His greater glory. 
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that You have so clearly set out the criteria for Your children to humble ourselves before Your throne of grace. Thank You for the promise that when we are ready and willing to humble ourselves before You, then in Your grace You will lift us up and set our feet on the Rock of our salvation. Keep our hearts humble before You and our eyes fixed on You. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
