Humble Leaders Alone Receive God’s Grace

Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers.
Deuteronomy 8:1

We all need occasional reminders that it is God who gives His people any power and position they may come to enjoy. God commands His people to remember His blessing in both bad times and good times.

Because that is true, humility is the only appropriate attitude for leaders, as well as followers. God constantly reminds us of the following:

1. The privilege of being a chose people – God will lead and provide for us.

2. The price of being a chosen people – we must rely on His provision, not our own.

It is easy for leaders to succumb to the conceit that they pulled off some sort of victory or objective. Instead, they should acknowledge that the success came to them from God. God gives grace to the humble, but opposes the proud. This is the only way to cooperate with the Lord.
