Todays Verse:
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time,”
1 Peter 5:6 AMP
Scripture Reference:
Reflection:
What does it truly mean to humble oneself
under the mighty hand of God? The Amplified translation helps us understand by placing this as “setting aside self-righteous pride.” This can be sometimes seen as surrender, submission and complete removal of self in the place of God, but that may be a more literal interpretation.
Instead in the Hebrew “humility” is translated into English can be interpreted in this context as “anav” which means to lower oneself in the spiritual act of following Gods will, personifying grace and becoming meek to the circumstances which greet oneself in an internal and external sense. The “anav” humility helps us to personify the teaching of Jesus sermon on the mount and becoming “Poor in Spirit”. Not poor in finances, health or rank or authority, but poor to uplift those whom we serve and to place Christ before ourselves.
Practically speaking this can be the process of 1 Peter 2:9 and the concept of a Baptismal Ecclesiology which means we are all under the Cross, the Resurrection and Life and Death of Jesus Christ. That we are all called to surrender our lives to Christ, to serve for his Glory and his name sake. If we understand as Paul teaches in his letters to the Churches of his day that he want to present us as pure and unadulterated to love Christ first and foremost we can see that instead of us becoming weak, we become strong in the Lord and Christ’s perfect strength can overcome and accomplish all things in our life.
Today let us surrender again ourselves to the Will of God and to present ourselves as a living sacrifice to Christ Jesus our Lord. Let us not be in the habit of some and continue to meet together to pray, read the Bible and petition heaven for Heaven to come on Earth and Gods will to be done in Jesus name. Amen
Let us Pray…
Father thank you giving us love, hope and grace to fight the good fight. Release us today from bondage again and help us not be subject to sin, but instead to fix our eyes on Jesus and follow him in Jesus name. Amen
For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes]. [Is 40:13]”
1 Corinthians 2:16 AMP
