Resurrection Day 314: Humble

When we are handed a success or victory, we must remain humble. 

But He gives us more grace.  That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.  James 4:6

Sure, we should celebrate our wins, but not at the expense of our character.  Celebrate…but as tempting as it is…it’s best not to denigrate. 

I began writing this devotional before the election.  I had no idea what a timely topic this would become. 

Here’s the thing.  I refuse to act ashamed that God’s plan for this country won out.  I refuse to act ashamed that I stood on the side of wisdom and discernment.  I too have been appalled at the extreme amounts of deception that were committed by the losing side.  I have been appalled at the woke agenda.  I have been appalled at the cries…no shrieks…for infant sacrifices at the altar of “women’s rights” all while they pretend that men can be women, when it suits them. 

All of it is insane.

But here’s the thing…God made each of these people.  As angry as I get at them, I also can’t help but pray for their souls. 

They are the lost.  We are the found. 

Man, writing this is causing a lot of tension inside my soul. 

They have treated all of us so unfairly for so long…it’s so difficult to find any space for mercy in my own heart.  But God called us to be a witness to the least of these.  To seek and save the lost. 

I am endeavoring…without full success, but I’m trying…to not mock the meltdowns we are currently watching. 

I desire to walk in holiness and truth. 

The truth is the word of God never changes and that includes His words on humility and pride. 

Some people in this world have given themselves over to evil, but I believe that until the moment of their death there is an opportunity to receive Jesus Christ and experience the beauty and the gift of salvation.  Just like the criminal who hung next to Jesus on the cross and repented in his last moments.  That’s what I hope for all. 

I pray they turn the Jesus.  They wouldn’t be having meltdowns if they knew Jesus.  That is the sad, but true fact.
