“So bow down under God’s strong hand; then when the time comes, God will lift you up. Since God cares for you, let Him carry all your burdens and worries.“
[Humility is rarely a virtue that our culture values. We’re trained from an early age to show our strengths and hide our weaknesses. This type of thinking also spills over into our models of leadership, as we learn to dictate to others how they should perform. Peter, however, says that we should be humble in our relationships with one another and not lead as dictators. In fact, this humility before one another and God is actually the position of the greatest strength. Our enemy desires to consume us, but we find strength to resist him when we are dependent upon God for His strength.]
- 1 Peter 5:6-7 -
“Humilhai-vos, pois, debaixo da potente mão de Deus, para que a seu tempo vos exalte; Lançando sobre ele toda a vossa ansiedade, porque ele tem cuidado de vós.“
- I Pedro 5:6-7-
