1 Peter 5:6-9a Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith…
Humility is the right attitude when we realize the cosmic war we are in. Almighty God and His angels are doing battle with the devil and his demons. He is looking for you and me to be in a place of vulnerability.
But when we humbly acknowledge our weakness and God's strength in us, we remain humble under God's hand, knowing that one day He will lift us up to be with Him. Then we can resist our enemy. We have solid faith in God's ability to protect us.
And in the middle of the battle, He invites us to cast ALL our cares on Him. We don't need to worry about our own abilities or resources. Why? Because He cares for us!
