~John MacDuff While, however, God resists the proud — He has promised to give grace unto the humble. The humble are the objects of His special regard. What He declared concerning Zion, He says in reference to every humble heart, This is my rest forever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it. For thus says the high and lofty One, who inhabits eternity, whose name is holy; I dwell in the high and holy place; that is one of the palaces of the Great King, where the throne of His glory is erected — where the countless armies of cherubim and seraphim are stationed, and where perfected saints reside. But He has another place of habitation: with him also, who is humble and contrite in spirit! Thus says the high and lofty One, I sit upon My holy throne; My name is God, I dwell on high, Dwell in My own eternity. But I descend to worlds below; On earth I have a mansion too; The humble spirit and contrite Is an abode of My delight! You, O Lord, are high, being exalted above all blessing and praise; yet, notwithstanding Your unspeakable greatness — You have respect unto the humble; but the proud You know afar off. O Lord, subdue the pride of my heart; and help me to manifest, by my whole demeanor — that humility of spirit which is in Your sight of great price!
