He... the One who gives greater grace... than jealous wrath... says...
God resists the proud,
but gives grace to the humble.
It's just a thought... but the One full of grace... could even His resistance be a gift... a kindness...?
The proud... set on a path of self-destruction... in His wisdom... and love... He opposes... throws up stumbling blocks... in hopes of turning... and saving...
Before his downfall a man's heart is proud,
but humility comes before honor.
Proverbs 18:12
The fall of the proud... may be just the gift they need... to bring about a saving grace...
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace,
who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ,
will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
1Peter 4:10
ESV
It's just a thought...
