Humility is the key to walking in grace. James 4:6 says, “…God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Verse 10 says, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”

Psalm 145:14 says, “The Lord upholds all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down.” Verse 18 says, “The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.”

Calling out to the Lord in our need, is an acknowledgment of our dependence on Him. Dependence is the posture of humility. That is where grace steps in. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says, “…My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

I like to think about this. Take a long human hair and weave it in and out of a heavy chain ~ weakness being made perfect through strength. Humility is empowered through His grace.
