The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the Lord, and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 29:19. This verse reminded me of the sermon on the mount where Jesus says blessed are the poor in spirit and blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. There is joy that is found in humility. The opposite of humility is pride. At the heart of every sin is pride. With pride we put ourselves before God leading us down at path outside of God's path. But when we humble ourselves to submit to God's plan and God's way, we discover a joy that those apart from God will never know.
