You think of yourselves as smart and clever, but the fact is that your arrogance seals your devastating fate.
1 PETER 5:5 (NLT)
Dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another...
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Self confidence doesn't get you very far in God's economy but humility opens all kinds of doors.
DAILY FODDER
Why do you think Peter uses clothing as a metphor for humility? How do you know if you're dressing in humility?
PRAYER
Humble Savior, I aspire to dress like you. Thank you for offering grace to those who show humility to each other. Forgive my longing to appear wise in my own eyes. Help me think less of myself and focus more on your humble servant example. Today I will encourage my loved ones. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen!
