2 | I'm a conservative christian | Ps 37:25 | DocTrinsograce | 240822 | ||
Hi, Kathy... We serve a God whose resources include all the universe and all that it is in it. We are told that His provision will not be withheld from His own (Psalm 84:11), right up to and including His Son (2 Corinthians 5:21). Nonetheless, our Lord has been pleased to give you a station in life that is a very humble one. Scripture tells us that the poor believer is far more wealthy in eternal blessing than the richest person in the world. The poor person is to rejoice in their humble circumstances (James 1:9). Your question seems to focus on how to make others change their condescension. However, just as we shall always have the poor with us (Matthew 26:11), we will always have thr proud. The key is not to work to change them -- that is God's business -- but rather to use your circumstances to change yourself, with God's power, to get the most out of the low station in which He has placed you. It has been my experience that true humility never arises in us without humiliation. After all, it is the same sort of pride in us that makes us turn our eyes to the sin of others, rather than to be focused on the sin of ourselves. The proud are actively resisted by God (James 4:6) -- what a scary thought! Nevertheless, He gives greater grace to the humble (cf Matthew 23:12). Let us diligently seek to be found among the humble! In Him, Doc |
