"Cloth yourself with humility" (1Peter 5:5 KJV)
Apostle Peter writes, cloth yourself with humility...for God is ooposed to the proud but gives grace to the humble. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your cares on Him, because He cares for you (1Peter 5:5-7). Peter expressed four very important thoughts, let's look at them each of them:
1) When Pater said cloth yourself with humility he actually was referring to a white scarf or apron typically worn by servants. Did you get that? We are called to servants. Though we carry the anointing of a king God wants us to wear the crown with great humility.
2)'God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble'. Those who are self centered find themselves at odd with God while the humble enjoy His blessing
3) 'Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you in due time. The phrase ''the mighty hand of God is used in scriptures to symbolise two things: God hands of discipline and His hand of deliverance. And you need both. So submit to His discipline today and you will enjoy His deliverance.
4) Casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.' Peter addresses the core issue worry that if we don't look out for ourselves nobody else will. But if we really believe that God cares for us, we neednt worry about serving our own interests. We can focus on the needs of others, confident that God will spare nothing when it comes to meeting our needs.
Prayer Point
Father, I humble myself under your mighty hand, lift me up to my high places in life in Jesus name.
