Humbling ourselves before God will make us stronger. God hates a proud heart and He loves humble people. Let us always submit ourselves to God and remain humble, then God’s blessings will come into our lives.
Humbling ourselves does not mean feeling unworthy but through it we acknowledge the greatness of God. When we humble ourselves before God, we mean that yes, Lord, you are my God, you are all powerful and I am a weak person. If we are arrogant, God’s blessings will never come into our lives. Because the Lord always wants to bless the humble, but the arrogant are far from Him.
