The obedience of humility

Friends,

Mankind is constantly in an intense struggle with submission and humility. It doesn't matter what his background is, or what her personality is like. The struggle is universal. And so is God's answer ...

1 Peter 5:6-7 [NKJV]
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Have you bowed low before the Lord?
Have you truly acknowledged His might and authority?

No man, save for Jesus, has adequately conquered this foe. But by the grace of Christ, we can day-by-day come closer to the standard our Savior has set for us. It is a mark of true obedience. And therefore, it is the mark of true love.

Be encouraged, Jose
