“So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.”
1 Peter 5:6
The Bible talks about the power of humility. Wisdom comes when we humble ourselves (Prov 11:2). Honor comes to those with humility (Prov 29:23). And humility activates God’s plan in our lives. (Jam 4:10). However, not many of us would prefer to humble ourselves. We want to be heroic by being the guy that saves the day. We want to be strong and help another person in need. But the idea of humbling ourselves? That is difficult as this involves honesty and opening up to others. But be challenged today to be the first to humble yourselves. Open up to a brother about whatever is going on in your heart today, big or small. Ask for prayer. Ask for a word of encouragement. Be honest with God and a trusted friend about how you feel about your situation. Hey The world will often try to tell us how to build community: don’t reveal your weakness, stick with your strengths, and only show your good side. But true relationship is built differently. It requires authenticity, transparency, and vulnerability. In other words, it requires us to humble ourselves. Find a brother and watch how God elevates and sets you free.
