(Hebrews 6:10, Luke 14:11) James 4:6 is both instructional and wisdom, “God lifts those who are humble to greater; however, God has no problem bringing down the proud.” The Bible describes humbleness as meekness, lowliness and absence of self, and proud as full of pride, self-seeking, self-exalted and that person is certain to face resistance from God. Therefore, humility is a precondition for a Christian and necessary if we desire the blessings and the entering into the kingdom of God. (Philippians 4:19, Matthew 5:3) I encourage you to humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and God will favor, promote, and exalt you at the proper time!
