1 Peter 5.7
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
Humble ourselves and wait for God to show himself as God.
Like us, they were probably willing to bow before God but not as he directs.
The previous verse calls them to bow before each other, to clothe themselves with humility and to submit to each other.
This is where many – most – miss an opportunity to come into the presence of a sovereign Lord because he or she cannot bow in the everyday per God’s direction.
Much of our evangelical angst concerning the politics of the day involves our refusal to bow before God in the everyday events and relationships of our lives.
We are more concerned about someone else’s morals than devotion to Christ evidenced by loving obedience.
Just got another truck added; gotta’ go.
