Primary Text

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time:” 1 Peter 5v6 (KJV)

“Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you,” 1 Peter 5v6 (AMP)

Humbling ourselves before God can consist of saying – Lord, I acknowledge You as my God, my King, I know Your way is right, Your words are pure, You are good, I might not understand what is happening right now, but I submit to You, I submit to Your leadership, to Your pruning, I want You to be glorified in my life, come and have Your way. James 4v10 (AMP) says “Humble yourselves [feeling insignificant] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up and make your lives significant].” Our God is truly an awesome and great God. His ways are good, and perfect. Job 5v9&11 (AMP) says “Who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number, … So that He sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn He lifts to safety.”
