HUMBLE RECOGNITION

"But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: ‘God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.’”  (James 4:6 BSB)

In his Guildhall Address in London on June 12, 1945 Dwight David Eisenhower remarked, "Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in the blood of his followers and sacrifices of his friends." I think the same could be said of the believer who receives eternal life earned in the blood of his Leader and the sacrifice of his Friend... Jesus Christ. In both cases, the recipient is humbled in the recognition that he did not earn it for himself. 

-- Rev. David T. Wilkinson
