1Pe 5:5 ...Yea, all of you be subject one to another,
and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to
the humble.
1Pe 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty
hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
1Pe 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth
for you.
1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary
the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1Pe 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing
that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the
world.
1Pe 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us
unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while,
make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
1Pe 5:11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and
ever. Amen.
This is TRUTH!
Clothed with
humility.
Humble ourselves
under the mighty hand of God.
IN DUE TIME
exalted-- not now!
We are not promised
instant peace! People need to STOP expecting a life of ease! We need to stop
expecting less hardship, less heartache, less pain in our lives. Yes, it would
be nice not to live in hardship, in heartache, or in pain but it's not something
we must insist upon having in order to believe in our God.
The innocent will
suffer, the helpless will suffer, and we
who have compassion for them will suffer and hate the fact the innocent and
helpless are feeling such pain, living in such horrific conditions.
Satan has created
societies which promote our distrust of God. Satan has worked hard to warp the
truth of God so many will be deceived.
Truly we must follow after the truth in its fullness through Jesus
Christ our LORD.
We must believe in a
God who LOVES fully, wholly, without any selfish thought at all. God created human beings to live in harmony,
as counterparts to Him. The counterpart
would be love as He is love, selfless as He is selfless. All those who are willing to give up self, a
true, true fight, will be God's. The willingness to give up, the willingness to
let Christ and His grace save us is what God wills. Satan rebels against this
and uses any means possible to keep us from giving our will to God. The
selfishness within us is used by Satan at every opportunity. Situation after
situation will pop up screaming for us to be selfish, non-stop assaults at our
spiritual self will take place and we have to recognize this!
We must RESIST the
devil so He will flee from us and resisting means recognizing the devil's
assaults upon us. He disguises them so
thoroughly that its next to impossible to distinguish them from what most
people will call 'just life', but we KNOW BETTER! Our eyes are OPEN, we are NOT blind. We see
the LIGHT that Christ allows us to see by His grace and mercy.
Please, Father,
please, help us be Yours in all ways. Help us resist, help us trust in You, in
Your grace which is sufficient for us. All to Your glory! All to Your honor!
All to Your love!
In the name of Your
Son, Jesus Christ our Lord!
Amen!
