Wulfredo: God's people in Egypt were being humiliated by Pharaoh. Until the day they stopped being humble before Pharaoh and cried out to the God of Abraham and humbled themselves before Him. Then God heard them and freed them from the slavery of Pharaoh, parted the sea before Pharaoh and they crossed to the other side of the Sea To be humble before Jehovah God our Lord is to recognize the greatness and power of the God that I preach. O Lord, have mercy on me and keep your people Israel from Pharaoh of war. Amen

Francisco Diaz S.: The Lord is benevolent with the humble and fair with the just.- The proud and arrogant do not reach the grace of the Lord
Dear Francisco Díaz S., Thank you for sharing this important truth about the benevolence and justice of the Lord. As you mention, the Lord extends His grace to the humble and is fair to the righteous. Those who recognize their need for God and humble themselves before Him are blessed with His favor and care. On the other hand, the arrogant and arrogant who trust in themselves and exalt themselves cannot fully experience the grace of the Lord. His attitude of self-sufficiency and pride hinders his relationship with God. It is a reminder to all of us of the importance of humility and dependence on the Lord. May we always seek to be humble in His presence, recognizing that everything we have and are comes from Him. May the Lord guide us on the path of humility and grant us His abundant grace.
