1 Peter 5:6
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:”
What it means
Humility means trusting God's timing when we would rather rush ahead or grab control. This verse invites us to lower ourselves under His strong and caring hand, sure that He will lift us up at the right moment. We do not have to promote or defend ourselves; we can rest in a Father who sees and honors what is done in quiet faith. Jesus humbled Himself all the way to the cross, and God raised Him high. Follow that path, wait on the Lord, and He will surely raise you too.
Read it, pray it, live it
On The Living Bread you can read the whole chapter, save this verse, ask Simon to explain it, pray it over your life, and share it with someone who needs it today.
