SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer

Scripture: James 4:6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. …
10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

Observation: The more we know God and know about God, the more logical it is to be humble. Humility makes us attractive to God.

Application: When the little magnet of my life approaches God with the wrong magnetic field (pride) leading the way, I am rejected and pushed away. However when the little magnet of my life approaches God with the right magnetic field (humility) God and I are drawn together! It is a powerful attraction! I am attracted to His GREATNESS and He is attracted to my humility.

Prayer: Lord, It is both right and beneficial to walk in humility before you. I want my life to be attracted to you. I want your life to be attracted to me. Amen.

July 20: 2Chronicles 29-31; James 4
