King David, Nicola Cordier,
post by Jay QuineJames 4:15 "Humble"
Many of us learned a definition of grace as unmerited favor. We cannot get more grace by performing better; we do not get less grace by doing worse. Yet the Bible says it is possible to get more grace. “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humbled.” Want to be in the zone of God’s grace? Be humbled. Be crushed. Be humiliated.
When King David fled Jerusalem in fear of his own son Absalom, he was humiliated. Yet he said, “God may return me to worship here, but even if He does not, He will do what is good.” David gave his reputation, his future, his family to God. He was transparent and made no attempt to hide it. Be humbled, and enjoy the grace of God.
