A Daily Devotion for Thursday, May 26

James 4:6

But he gives us more grace. That is why scripture says: “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

The verses just before this one remind us to avoid falling in love with the world. God gives grace to those who remain apart from the world, either by choice or by circumstance. When we are broken, humbling ourselves before God is the only way to find peace. Turning to the world for our peace is likely to lead to more brokenness.

Father God, help me to remember always to turn to you. You are the source of all peace. The world will not provide me with happiness, but you fill me with joy. Amen
