James 4:6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”

As we see, because of Jesus, there is a certain level of grace already on our lives. However, when we humble ourselves, God gives us additional grace on top of the grace we already have.

Humbling ourselves means we realize we need God in every situation. We forgo attempting to handle anything in our own strength, knowledge, or will power. We lean, depend, and totally rely on God to handle everything (big or small).

It doesn’t matter if we have a master’s degree in accounting, we humble ourselves and allow God to guide us in our finances. It doesn’t matter if we’ve been at the same job for the past 15 years, we humble ourselves and allow God to tell us what to do on that job on a daily basis.

Another word for grace is the undeserved favor of God. As we humble ourselves, we’ll experience additional undeserved favor of God. Things that may have taken a week to complete on that job, may take only 3 days. The finances we’re trying to save using our own knowledge may be doubled when we humble ourselves.

From now on, we humble ourselves and experience more grace.
