Humble Submission

Good Morning Beauties!
What a beautiful morning to wake up to the blessings of The Lord. His creation is stunning and speaks to me deep in my heart. How about you? Does God speak through nature to unveil His mysteries?
Yesterday we looked at how God is our strength and we share His awesome power through the Holy Spirit living in us. Today we’ll see how humility plays a role in all we do. It’s almost like a paradox, of strength and weakness, but humility is actually the greatest strength of all.
Dr. David Jeremiah has a wonderful study regarding the crowns we will receive in Heaven. Here are some of the scripture references from his study:
Victor’s Crown - 1 Corinthians 9:25-27
Crown of Rejoicing - 1 Thessalonians 2:19
Crown of Righteousness - 2 Timothy 4:8
Crown of Life - James 1:12
Crown of Glory - 1 Peter 5:4
The Bible tells us our works on Earth are rewarded in Heaven, and these are some, not all, of the rewards. And yet, as we stand before the Lord, face to face, we will simply cast our crowns at the feet of Jesus. For only He is worthy of such praise.
My question for you is this: Do we have to wait until we’re in Heaven to cast the praise from us to Jesus? Are we able to take our good reputation, our accomplishments, our abilities and surrender them all to Him now? True humility is having strength and yet laying it down before Jesus, the perfect example of a humble servant.

“The twenty-four elders fell facedown before the one seated on the throne and they worshiped the one who lives forever and ever. And they surrendered their crowns before the throne, singing:
’You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory, honor, and power, for you created all things, and by your plan they were created and exist.’”
