(1 Peter 5:5 ESV) Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” (1 Peter 5:6 ESV) Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, (1 Peter 5:7 ESV) casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
We want to be humble before God, but we refuse to humble ourselves in the way God directs us, more specifically in the way which God teaches in Scripture.
Humility toward God will evidence itself in humility toward other people, both whom we like and dislike, respect and disrespect, agree with or argue with. . .
God tells us so many things, if we would just listen.
He tells us how to live in humility, but we tend to “spin” what God says to make it palatable and it does not renew our minds. No renewing takes place if nothing changes. Nothing will change if we do not listen to God and try life his way.
So what clothes are we going to wear?
