God resists the proud, but favors the humble. There is so much power in admitting our weaknesses and helplessness before the Lord and crying out for His help. "Be weak and My power will help you." It's contrary to how we think, but it's God's way. There are so many areas of life to which this applies.
It is such a simple concept...be weak and rely on the Lord's might. Yet, we strive so hard against it because of our pride...we WANT to be bigger than we really are. Self-righteous pride puffs us up.
"No man can put on the robes of Christ’s righteousness till he has taken off his own." Charles Spurgeon
