Humbled Under His Mighty Hand


"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time."  ~ 1 Peter 5:6, KJV

Being humble is a possessing a meek and quiet spirit.  In fact 1 Peter 3:4 says that it has great value in God's eyes.  "Instead, your beauty comes from inside you. It is the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. Beauty like that doesn't fade away. God places great value on it." (NIRV)  In 1 Peter 5:6, it says to humble myself therefore under the mighty hand of God.  Humbling myself beneath the might power of God will bring prosperity, dignity, honor and happiness.  Oh, I may be faced with unfavorable situations at times.  But, in the opportune and seasonable time, He will exalt and lift me up.

My prayer is that I can be pliable clay in the hands of the Potter.  And, that He will continually lead me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.  I want to have a humble spirit.  And, I want to place myself under His mighty powerful hand...I eagerly await to see what He has for me in the coming days, months & years to come.
