Bend Knees Quote by Beth Moore
““Unless you physically cannot, I urge you to make a practice of literally getting on the floor, facedown and prostrate before God on a regular basis. Every time you have a smug sense of self-righteousness, buckle your knees before God buckles them for you. I have often said what some have not wanted to hear—that we, the children of God, can either bend our knees or eventually He will break our legs … in one form or another. He is Lord. He is Lord! But He is also a Lord who loves nothing more than to raise up the humble and astonish them with His wonderful works.””
