God’s Nearness to the Humble
The Bible is clear:
“Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord” (Deuteronomy 8:3)
“Before his downfall, a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor” (Proverbs 18:12)
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6)
Humility grows when we recognize the greatness of God. It shifts our view of ourselves, our sin, and what matters most. God isn’t interested in a business deal; He delights in those who understand their deep need for Him.
