Well, it is Friday, and for some of you, this might be your very last day of school. Yay! For others,

you may be starting an extra long Memorial Day weekend

and celebrating the beginning of summer again. Yay! Before we go jump in a pool or an ocean or a lake,

let's remember this weekend to express our gratitude. For those courageous men and women who

have given their lives serving our country. I'm so grateful to be

living here, and their sacrifice needs to be always remembered. I'm Mike Bro, by the way, and I get to

host this podcast for a few minutes every day, and I'm grateful for you as well. And if you've been

with us this week, then you know we are currently in James chapter 4, and we left off yesterday

with James telling his original readers and us to make sure that we keep God and not ourselves

at the center of our universe, to live grateful for his love and his leadership, and to remain

faithful to him alone. So let's just pick up where we left off. Talking about God, he says this in verse 6,

and he gives grace generously. As the scripture say, God opposes the proud, but he gives

grace to the humble. James reminds us here that grace and pride are like polar opposites. Pride is all

about me and my goodness, and grace is all about

him and his goodness, and that only the humble are the ones who receive grace. The proud,

they don't think they need it. Now, we talked about pride extensively just a few weeks ago when we

did our fatal four, how it destroys everything in its way, including us.
