Day 103 Truth: A Bigger View of God’s Word Randy Alcorn
“All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” I Peter 5:5
Humility isn’t pretending that we’re unworthy because it’s the spiritual thing to do; it’s recognizing that we’re unworthy because it’s simply true.
J.C. Ryle warned, “Let us watch against pride in every shape – pride of intellect, pride of wealth, pride of health, pride simply of our own goodness.”
Pride pushes us away from God; humility draws us toward God. By choosing humility; we agree with God about our true condition and our true need for Christ.
Actually folks, we need Christ today just as much as we did the day we came to faith in Him. That’s a humbling truth we must never forget.
