Gloomy

Aug18

Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.
James 4:9 NASB1995

. . . For all the people were weeping when they heard the words of the law.
Nehemiah 8:9b NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/neh.8.9.NASB1995

The words of the law draws one to be convicted. When conviction causes us to mourn and weep in our souls, making us miserable, it is time to humble ourselves before God, seeking His forgiveness.

So that He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
Job 5:11 NASB1995

Proud or Humble

Dec19

But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.
Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
James‬ ‭4:6‭-‬10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
