Grace to the Humble

By -
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall come upon everything proud and lofty, upon everything lifted up— and it shall be brought low… —Isaiah 2:11-12 (NKJV)

“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” (See James 4:6 NKJV) Instead of being prideful or arrogant, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, (see 1 Peter 5:6), for Yahweh will have a day of reckoning. “If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword”; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” (Isaiah 1:19-20 NKJV) So don’t make judgments about anyone ahead of time—before the Lord returns. For he will bring our darkest secrets to light and will reveal our private motives. Then God will give to each one whatever praise is due. (1 Corinthians 4:5 NLT)

Human pride will be humbled, and human arrogance will be brought down. Only the LORD will be exalted on that day of judgment. —Isaiah 2:17 (NLT)

He Leads & Guides

If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, even there Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will lay hold of me. — Psalms 139:9-10 (NASB1995) No matter where you are, our heavenly Father is aware of the situation and He is with you. In Psalms 139:5 David asks: “ Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? ” Psalms 139:10-11 (TPT) says: “Wherever I go, your hand will guide me; your strength will empower me. It’s impossible to disappear from you or to ask the darkness to hide me, for your presence is everywhere, bringing light into my night.” If you have wandered away, He will lead you back onto the right path, that leads to life, and life more abundantly. Let us be ever grateful that we are never out of His reach. Even when we are lost in the darkness, Yahweh knows where we are, His hand is on us and He will guide us back to Him and into His marvelous light. We just need to be obedient and follow. “You’ve gone into my

Our Stability

Yahweh is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness. And He will be the stability of your times, a wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; The fear of Yahweh is his treasure. — Isaiah 33:5-6 (LSB) Stability will not be found in the government, the balance of your bank account, or any material possessions. The state of this world is constantly changing and full of turmoil and conflict. Yahweh is the stability of our times, and He does not change. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken. (Psalms 62:2 NLT) Trust in Yahweh forever, for in Yah— Yahweh Himself— we have an everlasting Rock. (Isaiah 26:4 LSB) ...thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, a costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed.” (Isaiah 28:16 NASB1995) Whoever believes in Yeshua need never be shaken. Anything else we choose to rely on, is like shiftin

Know & Believe

We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. — 1 John 4:16 (NASB1995) May we know and believe in the unfailing love Yahweh continually lavishes upon us. First Corinthians 8:3 (AMP) says: …if anyone loves God [with awe-filled reverence, obedience and gratitude], he is known by Him [as His very own and is greatly loved]. Let His love seep into every pore and fiber of your being. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39 TLV) This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. (1 John 4:10 NLT) As Yahweh pours His love into us, may we share it with everyone He brings our way. Dear frie
