Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.
James 4:10
Gleaning in fields of grace
And hope does not disappoint,
because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
Romans 5:5
I believe that I shall see bounty of the Lord
In the land of the living.
Psalms
Your word is a lamp for my feet
A light for my path
Psalm 119:105
Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,
Which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David
A saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Here this, you who trample on the needy and bring the poor of the land to an end…
Amos 8:4
I didn’t continue with the verse. For those of us who truly try to know the heart of Jesus we should know without reading how he expects us to behave in regard to the poor and the needy.
My child, conduct your affairs with humility,
and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts.
Humble yourself the more, the greater you are,
and you will find favour with God.
Sirach 3:17-18
