I refresh the humble and give new courage to those with repentant hearts. Isaiah 57:15 NLT
He refreshes and gives new courage to anyone humble enough to repent of their sins.
Do we truly understand we are sinners? If so, we are less likely to be judging of others as we know how easy it is to fall.
When we grasp how much we’ve been forgiven, we are less critical of others and that’s a sign of humility. Humble folks don’t point their finger at someone else because when they do, they realize three fingers pointing back at them.
How interesting God gives “new” courage. Not the same kind of courage we used to muster on our own, but a new courage that comes directly from His spirit.
God honors those with a repentant hearts. Test yourself, examine your motives, and let nothing be done through selfish ambition. God refreshes the humble. Therefore, humble yourself before the Lord and He will lift you up. He provides the courage for you to stand amidst your circumstances.
Lord thank you for giving us the courage to humble our self before you. Thank you for lifting us up when we are repentant. Enable us to remain humble in all the seasons of our lives. In Jesus’ name Amen.
