Isaiah 66:2 All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the LORD. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.
To whom will the Lord look upon? He who is humble... I was once taught that humble is having the correct assessment of your worth. False humility is just another name for pride. So, to have a greater or lesser opinion of yourself is still prideful. Give it some thought.
He who is contrite in spirit.... contrite is to be humbly penitent. So we are back to a correct assessment of yourself.
Finally, the person who trembles at God's Word.... I think this refers to having a correct assessment of God.
Just food for thought. Worth considering if you want God to look upon you with favor.
