The Humble

“For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.”

Psalm 149:4

The Lord takes delight in His people.

What characterizes those people?

They are humble and they are victorious.

But they do not take pride in themselves in those victories, knowing that God fights their battles.

It’s so much easier to gloat, isn’t it?

So much easier to boast of what WE have done!

But the proud and the boastful are not a people God delights in.

When God goes before you making a way where there was no way how can we lay claim to what He has done?

The honest man cannot.

Instead, He recognizes that God crowns the humble with victory.

“He has shown you, O man, what is good.

And what does the Lord require of you?

To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

Micah 6:8
