What does it mean that God dwells with the humble?

Answered in 1 source

God's presence is promised to those who are humble and contrite in spirit.

The biblical assertion that God dwells with the humble is rooted in Isaiah 57:15, where it states, 'For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit.' This highlights a deep theological truth: God’s presence and favor are with those who recognize their need for Him. In the context of Isaiah 66:2, the Lord emphasizes His regard for the broken and contrite heart, contrasting it with those who rely merely on ritualistic worship devoid of sincerity. Such humility opens one's heart to experience God's grace and mercy, fostering a closer relationship with Him.
