PRIDE GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION, AND A HAUGHTY
SPIRIT BEFORE A FALL. BETTER TO BE OF A HUMBLE
SPIRIT WITH THE LOWLY, THAN TO DIVIDE THE SPOIL
WITH THE PROUD.
( PROVERBS 16:18-19 *NKJV )
Dear Charles,
Destructive pride can be a major stumbling block in your
Christian walk! We are as God's Children to be of a humble
spirit. For it is written: GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT
GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE. ( 1 PETER 5:5 ) It is also
written: FOR THUS SAYS THE HIGH AND LOFTY ONE WHO
INHABITS ETERNITY, WHOSE NAME IS HOLY:" I DWELL
IN THE HIGH AND HOLY PLACE, WITH HIM WHO HAS A
CONTRITE AND HUMBLE SPIRIT." ( ISAIAH 57:15 )
Now our Savior Jesus Christ, speaking of entering the
Kingdom of Heaven said, "AND INDEED THERE ARE
LAST WHO WILL BE FIRST, AND THERE ARE FIRST
WHO WILL BE LAST." ( LUKE 13:30 ) Also Jesus' brother
wrote, HE GIVES MORE GRACE THEREFORE HE SAYS:
"GOD RESISTS THE PROUD BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE
HUMBLE." ( JAMES 4:6 )
So Charles, always HUMBLE YOURSELVES UNDER
THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD, THAT HE MAY EXALT YOU
IN DUE TIME, CASTING ALL YOUR CARE UPON HIM,
FOR HE CARES FOR YOU. Amen.
( 1 PETER 5:6-7 )
With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen
