Do you feel esteemed by God?

Isaiah 66.2 NOT MY HANDS did all these things, and so came into being?

QUESTION THE LORD.

THIS Esteem: the humble and contrite of spirit, who trembles at My Word.

God grants His mercy to the humble, but curses the proud and self-sufficient (see Luke 51-53).

Our society encourages us to assertiveness and self-assertion. Do not allow your freedom of choice and their right to take his life away from the path of God, which leads to eternal life. (Bible study personal application) One of the good things in this life, is able to feel the appreciation of family and friends about us.

He who does not feel loved by family and friends, becomes a lonely, sad, abandoned and rejected. If it's great to be esteemed by men, imagine being the target of the esteem of God, one who is the creator of all things and supreme king of the universe. It is the glory! We turn to the biblical text and see whom God values, "the humble and contrite of spirit, who trembles at My Word."

HUMBLE: Humility is precious in the eyes of God (1 Peter 3.4) - reveals that more grace is given to those who have (Psalm 25.9 - Tg 4.6) - keeps the soul in peace and contentment (Ps. 69.32,33), and generates patience and endurance in times of great misfortune (Job 1:21).

Jesus gave us the great example of humility (Phil. 2:6 to 8). The greatest promise of happiness are made to the humble (Ps. 147.6 - is 57.15 - 05.05 Mt - 1 Peter 5:5). (Bíblianet) The glorious Word of God, leaves no doubt. God values the meek. His grace is poured in a heart that judges are not self-sufficient, rather than put all their trust in Almighty God. The humble, you know that depends entirely on God.

contrite spirit: For the humble and repentant, the Lord God had a gracious promise: He who dwells in the "high and holy place," personal habits "with the contrite and humble spirit ". "Contrite" refers to anyone who feels oppressed by sin and seeking liberation from this bondage. (See Isaiah 57:15) (Pentecostal study Bible) When we recognize our miserable condition of the sinner, repenting of our sins , and leaving aside the sinful pleasures of this world, we become of by God.
