“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.” -1 Peter 5:6-7 (NASB)
We have a comforting promise to consider today. "He (God) cares for you." Yes, he does and that is why in our verse today we find a way to obey and follow the command given to us. Humility is a very important state of mind for the Christian. Matthew 5:5 tells us that God blesses those who are humble. Humility is also described as being gentle, or meek. Another promise today is that those who do humble themselves will be exalted by God’s mighty power and hand at the proper time. The humble while on earth are often cast aside and ignored but one day in His kingdom God will lift them up. Humility is one of the ways those entering the Kingdom will live while on earth. Sometime we hear the term “real humility,” or “authentic humility.” That is the only kind that ever is. And this is how we do it - entrusting oneself and one's troubles to God. He cares for us and He wants us to depend fully on him no matter what our cares are. Let’s cease from trying to manage and cast them instead on God as he has told us to.
