Humble Yourself!

1 Peter 5: 6 – 7

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

 

When God ushered His people into the world, He did not make us to leave us somewhere in the darkness.

No, when He took the time to look upon created man, He took a long gaze and said in a satisfying way…. “It is good.”

 

Unfortunately, not long after that, sin came into the world and fellowship between God and man was broken.

But then in His great love and mercy for us, He sent His one and only Son, to restore that fellowship.

 

It was then, that those who received the grace of Jesus, were made into a new creation.

Now we were saved, and God could say it again with great satisfaction….. “It is Good!”

 

The fact is, our sin soiled garments, were washed clean and made righteous again.

We were allowed to wear the righteous robes of Christ Jesus.

 

Now here’s the important question…..

Are you washed in the Sons’ blood—are you forever cleansed in His sight—and are you forever in His heart?

 

Maybe on this first day of the week, we should take a good look in the mirror.

Are you dressed in the righteous robes of Christ—or still wearing the robes of man and of this world?

 

It might be a good idea to humble ourselves under His mighty right hand—so that He may lift us up……
