This verse tells us how to behave ourselves towards the Lord and what He would reward us in return. 
As disciples of Christ, we know the Lord is sovereign and has control over all things. When things don’t go as we expected, however, we often feel frustrated, anxious, and even angry. When we feel we need to have control over our lives, we have put ourselves before God. When we fix our eyes on our plan, our desires, and our achievements, we have blinded ourselves from God’s plan, God’s desires, and God’s greatness. Jesus Christ gave up his life to obey God’s plan. He humbled himself before God and put God’s will first. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, also lives in us.
Humility is not thinking less of ourselves but thinking of ourselves less. It is living in light of who God is and who we are. God is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. All we have are gifts from God. Without Him, we have nothing. We will always come up short on our own, but we can always rely on the Lord.

Father, I surrender myself to You and trust You will lift me up when I am troubled. I pray You to help me live like Jesus and always put You in the center of my life. Father, I look up to You, for You are our sovereign God, and I can overcome everything with Your powerful love in my heart. Please grant me strength and wisdom to always put Your will above my own. 
In Jesus’s name I pray. Amen.
