God gives grace to the humble. James 5:6. Verse 10 says, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” Matthew 18:4 says, “Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”

The Greek word for humbles literally means to make low. It describes a person who is devoid of all arrogance and self-exaltation—a person who is willingly submitted to God and His will.

2 Corinthians 9:8 is in the context of finances. We can apply it as a life-skill of humility. It says, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”

Three empowering words: God is able. We have a tendency to do things in our own strength. John 15:5 is a great verse to embed in our heart’s wall. It says, “…for without Me you can do nothing.” Nothing means not one thing. His grace empowers us to live in His abundance as we humble ourselves.
