True Humility

Good afternoon everybody,
Thanks be to God who ALWAYS causes us to triumph in Christ! 2 Cor. 2:14
Notice that the Lord links thanksgiving and victory. This is not the only place, there are lots of scriptures that put the two together. No coincidence.

Why does God put things down in writing? Does it become true when He writes it, or is He telling us because it was true already? Maybe some of both, but in this case I believe that He is relating an eternal principle that was in place before time began.
I have been learning about this for weeks and have so much to learn. And then doing it is another issue, and doing the word is the only way to get results from it. Amen?
It takes humility to thank God. If we are proud in any area, we will be floating along without being thankful in that area. Humility is not what religion says it is… Humility is not saying we are unworthy wretches doomed to a life of trying to be good enough to draw near to God. It is saying that what God says is true no matter what anything else, the world, our flesh, the devil, doctors of theology with theories, or other’s experiences, says to us. The bible says a lot about who we are in Christ. Humble people would not dare say anything against that word. They bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (Christ is the Word made flesh). True humility will not ‘bombard the gates of heaven’ in prayer, it will go boldly before the throne of grace, because that is what the word says to do. These are a few examples of many, but basically we need to ask ourselves, where is the scripture, for everything we believe.
Humility is evidenced by thanksgiving, and God gives grace to the humble.
I love y’all.
