The Lowly

 

“Though the Lord is on high, yet he regards THE LOWLY; but the proud He knows from afar.” (Psalm 138:6 NKJ)

 

To be among the lowly, a person must be free from pride, self-will and self-centered conceit.  God is attracted to such choice individuals and promises to regard them in a special way.  This simply means that He will be especially attentive to their needs and bless them with his best.
