"Though the Lord is GREAT, HE CARES FOR THE HUMBLE, but He keeps His distance from the proud."
Are you meek and humble? The Lord is High and Mighty, Great and Exalted, but He Cares about you! Anyone who truly knows God will Fear Him and His Mighty Power. They will realize how insignificant they are in comparison to Him and they will be humble and meek! In fact the Word tells us that the "meek shall inherit the earth". On the other hand, the Lord keeps His distance from the proud. There are many who are prideful as a result of some ability or accomplishment or gift of God. They mistakenly take credit for what God has done for or given to them. They forget where everything comes from. What are you like? Are you humble or proud? God does not like pride and thinks of it as a sin in man. Our One Truth Today is a reminder about our Lord. HE CARES FOR THE HUMBLE!
Anything that can separate you from God is not a good thing. God keeps His distance from the proud, this is not something we should desire. The Lord has fellowship with the low and humble and He brings them into His care and mercy. This proves once again that although the Lord is High and Mighty, He loves us even though we are insignificant in comparison to Him and His power. Our God Loves us because we are His creation and He desires our worship and love. No matter what our condition or placement in this life, He care about us if we respect and understand that everything we have, including our very lives, comes from Him. Do you know and understand this One Truth Today? HE CARES FOR THE HUMBLE.
If we exhibit pride the Lord keeps His distance from us. We are in essence saying that we are the ones that can compete with an all powerful God. If God only recognizes you from a distance this is not a good thing for you. We never want to be in a position where the Lord says, depart from me, I never knew you. The haughty He only knows from afar. There is not much of a question about what the Lord desires of us, if we desire His favor. We must avoid pride and being haughty, and we must remain meek and humble in His sight. Keep a lowly attitude about your position in God's Kingdom. The next time you feel yourself getting puffed up and prideful try and remember where your gifts and accomplishments came from. Are you humble or proud? HE CARES FOR THE HUMBLE!
