The foundation of strength, success, and victory for a man isn’t grit, toughness, or courage—it’s humility.
Me personally, I need others to hold me accountable because I’m often my own greatest threat. I need instruction because I have blind spots and can’t see everything clearly. Sometimes I need help simply because I be wildin’ out and end up biting off more than I can chew.
James 4:6
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”
So humility isn’t optional—it’s essential.
When a man humbles himself, God lifts him up at the right time. The key isn’t isolation or self-sufficiency. The key is humility, followed by obedience.
