"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.
