James 4:5-6
"Or do you suppose that the scripture speaks without meaning when it says, "The spirit that he has made to dwell in us tends toward jealousy"? But he bestows a greater grace; therefore, it says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.""
Do you ever slow down and ask why you do certain things? God gives us desires to achieve and do great things. We were made in His image, it is when we believe it was us that accomplished these things when we get into trouble.
Our own pride gets in the way of worshipping God. All good things come from Him, it is He that blesses you. Our lives are meant to be lived with a purpose, to be what God intended us to be and that is to be holy. Humble yourself before God and thank Him for what you have, both the little and the much.
Dear Lord, we begin another day to honor you, may we grow in faith a little more today. May we put yesterday behind us and focus on today. Bless those who are carrying their cross Lord, give them grace to carry on. Allow them to strengthen others on their journey. May we be humble of heart today, Amen.

"The one that is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
