1 Peter 5:6-11
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Glory be to God! Don’t let anyone tell you that there is no devil out there – that is a lie – as the devil is seeking to devour us like a lion! Never-the-less – despite Satan’s desires – our God loves us – and if we simply humble ourselves into His hands – He will He will exalt us at the proper time which is His time – we need not fight a fight He has already won – but instead we must cast our anxieties on Him – maintaining self control – while keeping watch so not to be snatched by the enemy…
While we may suffer through the enemies attacks – we have to keep faith – knowing we are not suffering alone – and knowing that God has called us to Him because He has led us to Jesus Christ – and He will
restore us and make us strong, firm and steadfast. It’s all by His power – not our own…
Give It to Him
