Nancy Lee DeMoss identifies some fears you might encounter if you were to truly approach marriage with humility.

So who's going to worry about me? God will. You humble yourself. God will lift you up. He'll take care of your needs.

Well, I'll just be a doormat. I'll tell you what, if you approach your husband with a humble, teachable spirit, you'll probably find that your husband will put you on a pestle so high it'll take a telescope to find you.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss for Tuesday, September 18th.

Thank you. DeMoss for Tuesday, September 18th. If you're following along in the Seeking Him workbook,

today you'll be studying Chapter 2, Lesson 2. This whole chapter is a hard-hitting lesson in humility.

Nancy is teaching on pride and humility this week as she continues in a series called Seeking Him.

And if all this talk about a workbook doesn't make sense to you, visit Revive Our Hearts.com and get a copy of the Seeking Him workbook for yourself.

Here's Nancy. As we continue to seek the Lord for revival, we need to recognize that this issue

explained as he sets himself in battle array against those who are proud.

Now, I don't know about you, but I want God to draw near to me.

I want to draw near to God.

But we're seeing that the only kind of people who can get close to God are the humble, the lowly, the contrae, the broken ones.

So every vestige of pride in my life is something that

keeps God at a distance for me. It keeps me separated from God. It keeps God setting himself

against me. Imagine being opposed by the Almighty God. But that's exactly what happens when we're

proud. When we refuse to humble what happens when we're proud.

When we refuse to humble ourselves, when we refuse to acknowledge our wrongdoing, when we

refuse to accept responsibility for our actions, our attitudes, we make God our opponent.

And what does God do to the proud?
