The path of God follows after continual humility. God dwells with the humble. A lot of people have a really difficult time obeying God because they are so deathly afraid of being humbled, or being lowered in their own eyes.
God is Attracted to the Humble
*[[Isa 57:15]] KJV* For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
The Beauty of Humility
Psalms 149:4
For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
God Resists the Proud, but Gives Power and Favor to the Humble
1 Peter 5:5
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one toanother, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Godly Leaders Reflect Reflect Gods Affection for the Humble
2 Corinthians 7:15
Ungodly Immature Believers choose the Proud and Rich over the Poor and Humble
James 2
1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
