Verse of the Day June 21

Human beings have long been interested in and admired whoever is the greatest. It’s good to make the most of our ability and potential, but the hunger for prominence is a temptation. Even the disciples asked Jesus, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Perhaps they were hoping to be part of Jesus’ answer. Jesus disappointed their hopes by placing a child in their midst and telling them unless they changed and a became humble like a child, they’d never enter the kingdom of heaven, much less, be the greatest. This week Pastor Doug will share devotions about being humble like a child.

Today’s reading is James 4:1-12, God Gives Grace to the Humble.

The Verse of the Day is James 4:6,

But he gives all the more grace; therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
