Scripture
"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:" - 1 Peter 5:6 (KJV)
Encouragement:
Pride demands its own way, seeks recognition, and refuses to admit mistakes. Humility, however, recognizes that everything we have is a gift from God. When we humble ourselves before the Lord, we open the door for His supernatural grace to flow into our lives. Let Christ be exalted through your actions, and let Him handle your promotion.
Intercessory Prayer:
Father, break every root of pride, arrogance, and self-promotion out of our lives. Give us a gentle, meek spirit that is quick to listen, slow to speak, and eager to serve. May Highly Divine Evangelical Ministry always point people directly to Jesus, rather than highlighting human talent or accomplishments. In Jesus' name, Amen.
