James 4:10–"Humble yourself before the Lord and He will exalt you."
There is a direct connection between self-induced humility and God exalting His people. In a sense, penitence is the singular requirement of receiving blessing from the Lord. This relationship is based upon the basic premise that God is who He is. When we recognize who the Lord is we can only respond with a sincere humility. In other words, admitting who we really are before God is one of the essential steps in receiving the great blessings from the Father.
Let us then always keep this before us that we would humble ourselves before Him so as to always see ourselves in the light of who He is.
