Psalms
A Spotlight on the Scriptures
This is a Spotlight on the Scriptures Psalms 138:6 For though the LORD is high, he regards the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar.
Beloved, hear me now—God leans in when the humble cry, but He turns away when the proud boast. The proud are those who walk through life like they don’t need God, like they built their own breath, like they woke themselves up this morning. But the humble? Oh, the humble know they’re nothing without Him. They walk low so God can lift them high. The proud say, “I got this.” The humble say, “God, help me.” And that’s where grace shows up. Grace don’t flow to the self-sufficient—it floods those who surrendered. Grace runs downhill, not uphill. It finds the low places, the bowed heads, the bent knees, the broken hearts.
So if you want heaven’s attention, drop the pride. If you want divine favor, lose the ego. If you want grace to meet you in the midnight hour, humble yourself under the mighty hand of God—and watch Him raise you up in due season!
