Humble

I am currently reading through 1 Peter. I invite you to open your Bible and read along with me or find it online here.



1 Peter 5

6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.

7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

9 Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are.

10 In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.



Humble. I could spend a whole week on this passage; but I wanted to present it as one thought. It covers everything from worries to temptation to suffering while warning of danger and promising restoration; but it all begins with humility. We need to humble ourselves before God ... daily.
