“Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Category: Humility
Salvation comes, to those who are fully dependent. Dependent on God the Father for his wonderful plan, on Jesus for his sacrifice on our behalf, and on the Holy Spirit for his wisdom, his calling, and his strength. We bow humbly, Lord, and say thank you. We are also reminded, to tell all those around us, of your great Name! Hoping and praying, that we are locked in on the tremendous gift given to us, through our childlike faith, this Easter season, and every day! God Bless You All.
and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me;

Conditions for national repentance for Israel’s sins, or any other nation who “claims” to follow, the only living God: Humility, Prayer, Longing for God, and Repentance! I know this country could use a dose of this USA. Tell me if your country does!
and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 CHRONICLES 7:14 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/2ch.7.14/29989
We seemed to have lost this, in the church. You don’t necessarily need to publicly, go on social media and tell the world, but you need close friends that you can trust and will hold you accountable. I’m not saying that social media is not a powerful tool to share, but you may want to have your closest friends, walk with you through it first. It takes a lot of courage, to bare your soul, to the whole world. Especially for those who don’t understand, but……How healing to those whose lives are forever changed, by your courageous obedience, to this verse, who may be also struggling with he same issue. Also, this verse is talking to believers in the church, and not to those who have never given their lives to Christ.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
James 5:16 NASB

Oh, how we need to be reminded, that serving is a blessing, to those we serve. Know this. Even when it doesn’t seem like a blessing, to the ones we serve, know that we will be blessed, for modeling Jesus. God Bless you today.
If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
John 13:14 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.13.14.NASB
How great, that we have such a great and merciful God! How sweet that we can fall before him with repentance in our hearts, and he will embrace us. Thank you Lord, for loving us, in spite of our failings, and imperfections!
“Yet even now,” declares the Lord , “Return to Me with all your heart, And with fasting, weeping and mourning;
Joel 2:12 NASB
The sinfull desires remain, but as believers, they are not seen by Christ. As we walk by faith, in the spirit, we have freedom. The battle will rage on, until finally, we will receive our glorified bodies after we have left these earthly bodies, when the Lord calls us home. Daily reminding ourselves of this amazing grave we have received, changes us and helps us walk in the spirit. Can I get an Amen?
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:24 NASB
What Good News! Do you believe it? There is no sin you can hide from God. Why not humble yourself before him, and be washed white as snow. Don’t beat yourself up. There is no sin God cannot forgive? Do you believe it? If you are hiding from him, then you are missing it. Humble yourself before him, and let him change your heart, through his grace and mercy. The alternative is, he will humble you anyway, but it will not be a good ending for you. Not now, and not forever, possibly. May the Lord grant you his eyes to see today.
Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the Lord , And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 55:6-7 NASB
It’s always a heart issue with God, isn’t it? Your heart has to be in the right place to find him. Its not so much in our own strength, but a humble submission to a Holy God, that draws us to him. Read the 2 verses before this and you will see the rest of the story, as an old radio announcer used to say.
You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13 NASB
Are you going through the motions with God…….Don’t think he doesn’t know. He desires relationship and devotion, but hypocrisy he will deal with. Read the rest of the chapter to see. May we humble ourselves before you LORD. You are a gracious God who Loves us. You care enough to discipline us, when we elevate ourselves above you, to bring us back in the fold.
Then the Lord said, “Because this people draw near with their words And honor Me with their lip service, But they remove their hearts far from Me, And their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote,
