https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.4.20.NASB1995

It is not by my words but by God’s power in me that the gospel and His kingdom grows and flourishes.

For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

Seeking Wisdom?

Jun24

For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:6 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.2.6.NASB1995

‭In 1 Kings 3, Solomon, the son of David, was a little child when he became King in place of his father. God spoke with Solomon and said, “ask what you wish Me to give you.” Solomon requested an understanding heart to judge the Lord’s people to discern between good and evil. It was pleasing in the sight of the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing. “God said to him, ‘Because you have asked for yourself discernment to understand justice, behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given you a wise and discerning heart,'”

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.

God’s Humble People

Mar4

and My people who are called by My name humble themselves . . .
2 Chronicles 7:14a NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2ch.7.14.NASB1995

‭‭‭‭A position of prayer is a humble heart. Coming before Almighty God, our Creator, is an awesome privilege. Direct contact with the One who loves us and gave His life for us. What have we to offer God? Nothing, except what He has given us. Life. Breath. The means to survive.

All of mankind needs to deal first with the issue of pride. Can we be like God? No. We are His creation. God always was and always will be.

A man’s pride will bring him low, But a humble spirit will obtain honor.
Proverbs 29:23 NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.29.23.NASB1995

‭‭When pride comes, then comes dishonor, But with the humble is wisdom.
Proverbs 11:2 NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.11.2.NASB1995

Pride brings one low and with it comes dishonor. With humbleness comes wisdom and honor.

Do you want God to hear your prayers? Bow before Him with a humble heart.

Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
James 4:10 NASB1995‬‬

Pride to Repentance

Feb13

Who has put wisdom in the innermost being Or given understanding to the mind?
Job‬ ‭38:36‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.38.36.NASB1995

‭‭Will you really annul My judgment? Will you condemn Me that you may be justified?
Or do you have an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His?
“Adorn yourself with eminence and dignity, And clothe yourself with honor and majesty.
Pour out the overflowings of your anger, And look on everyone who is proud, and make him low.
Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him, And tread down the wicked where they stand.
Hide them in the dust together; Bind them in the hidden place.
Then I will also confess to you, That your own right hand can save you.
Job‬ ‭40:8‭-‬14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.40.8.NASB1995

‭‭Forgive me, Lord God, of my pride and arrogance, to think that I could compare myself to You. Only You are my salvation and any wisdom or understanding in me comes from You. I humble myself before You as my justification comes only from the sacrifice of Christ. My adornment is the Light and righteousness of You, Jesus, in me. I cannot save myself or anyone. It is by Your sovereign grace and power that anyone is saved.
I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You;
Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes.”
Job‬ ‭42:5‭-‬6‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.42.5.NASB1995

By my repentance You will save. By my belief You will live through me, revealing to the eye, Your glory. Use me for Your glory, Lord God.

The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will extol Him. The Lord is a warrior; The Lord is His name.
Exodus‬ ‭15:2‭-‬3‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/exo.15.2.NASB1995

🌹Your way, O God, is holy; What god is great like our God? You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples. You have by Your power redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
Psalms‬ ‭77:13‭-‬15‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
