But God gives us even more grace, as the Scripture says, “God is against the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.”

But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you may not fall under judgment.
James 5:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.5.12.NASB1995
Can we be trusted to speak truth? Is our Yes, yes; our No, no?
But I (Jesus) say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
🌹But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is of evil.

humility
Colossians 3:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.12.NASB1995
Jesus, our perfect example:
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Philippians 2:3-8 NASB1995

Jeremiah 32:27 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.32.27.NASB1995
All believers have been called. Called through salvation to fulfill the plan of God. The glory in this is that fulfilling God’s plan is not dependent on us. That’s a huge weight lifted off of our shoulders. Before you get too excited though, we do have responsibilities beyond our confession of belief in Jesus Christ:
1. Love the Lord your God – Joshua 23:11
2. Seek His kingdom first – Matthew 6:33
3. Surrender your will to God’s will – Matthew 6:10
4. Obey – Acts 5:29
5. Honor – 1 Corinthians 6:20
6. Follow – 1 John 2:6
7. Abide in Him – John 15:4
You can participate in the wonders of God and see His glory as He works through His fully devoted servant – YOU!
If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
