22th Jan (The Posture of humility receives grace and help)

The ball thrown will drop from a high place to a low ground. The water flowing will be from a higher plane to a lower plane. These 'lower' places are pictures of the posture of humility.

When one humbles oneself to another, he can receive help from the another.
If one exalts himself and think that one knows it all or so full of himself, how can help be given to him? Most probably, he will reject the help given.

Therefore, it reminds us to remind humble before God and man. Lest Proverbs 16:18 comes true "¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling."

 James 4:6-10 (NASB) ⁶  But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, "GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE." ⁷  Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. ⁸  Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. ⁹  Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom. ¹⁰  Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
