On Humility // 1 Peter 5:6
Today’s verse reminds me of the quote attributed to CS Lewis that humility isn’t thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less. The reality is when we try to puff up ourselves for our sake, we end up deflated. If we humble ourselves to serve God and others, then God will lift us up in His time. Luke 14:11 records Jesus’ teaching in this same vain, “For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Lower yourself to serve God by serving others and you will find the Lord exalt you in ways you could never believe!
