Today’s Thought “I Need Thee…” G. Ward

James 4

⁶ But He gives a greater grace. Therefore, it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

All our Lord Jesus would demonstrate (Ro.5:8), an unparalleled love – through enduring greatest persecution from men onto death (while innocent), establishes any/every believer unto courage to live as HE lived - by never forgetting the price paid (on our behalf and despite our sinfulness) and striving daily to be a fragrant aroma, as we offer ourselves sacrificially and similarly (Eph.5:2).

The New Year presented cannot persist to say redemption from the Savior is most important, to exist on personal terms of the prior year; but acknowledge greater necessity to do HIS will.
