Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall
lift you up. (James 4:10)
This conditional promise can be misused by some who have
ulterior motives, but when we truly humble ourselves in the Lord's sight it can
in no way be for our own lifting up. True humility would put ourselves last and
that is what makes this paradoxical truth so amazing. We cannot lift our own
selves up; it is only God who is able to do that and He only does that when we
are humbled before Him. We also saw this demonstrated in Christ who
"humbled Himself to the point of death-even the death of the cross"
yet "God exalted Him" (Philippians 2:8-9).
