Will Humble Themselves

We live in a world that teaches us to be self-sufficient, to trust our strength, our plans, and our understanding. Yet Scripture gently dismantles that illusion and reminds us that true life begins where self-reliance ends. The gospel calls us to exchange the fragile myth of independence for the solid ground of dependence on the Lord. Prayer, humility, and even fasting become declarations that we are not enough on our own—but He is more than enough. When we stop leaning on the thin branch of human ability and rest our weight on God’s provision, we discover that weakness in His hands becomes strength, and surrender becomes the doorway to real freedom.
