1 Peter 5:5-7 We walk humbly with God by placing our faith in Him and not in man.

John 3:17 

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. NKJV)

God so loved the world that He created that He gave us His only begotten Son to die for our sins…no one loves you more than God…no one! We walk humbly with our God and in doing so we care about others and forgive quickly. Easy? No, but it is required in our faith in Him alone. Micah 6:8 Carla

1 Peter 5:5-7

Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for

“God resists the proud,

But gives grace to the humble.”

6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. NKJV)

We need to present all our worries, anxieties, and problems to God in order to let Him handle them. The NKJV Study Bible

Speaking now to all believers, Peter draws on the Septuagint (ancient Greek Old Testament) version of Proverbs 3:34 to stress the importance of humility in the Christian community. The New Testament frequently exhorts believers to cultivate an attitude of humility. Peter urges his audience to be humble while they wait for God to honor their faithfulness in His timing. This call to humility reinforces the repeated call in the letter to endure various kinds of suffering for their faith by placing their trust in God’s plan.

Casting all your cares on him is likely drawing on Psalm 55:22, this line provides comfort to believers in the face of persecution and suffering. God not only will deliver believers from their troubles in the future, but He demonstrates His loving care in the present by hearing their prayers. Faithlife Study Bible

Proverbs 3:34

Surely He scorns the scornful,

But gives grace to the humble.

Matthew 23:12

And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

Psalm 55:22

Cast your burden on the LORD,

And He shall sustain you;

He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

James 4:6

But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:

“God resists the proud,

But gives grace to the humble.”

James 4:10

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

“We are here to heal, not harm. We are here to love, not hate. We are here to create, not destroy.” Anthony D. Williams

Staying informed matters.

Bearing witness matters.

And making sure our heart and soul are replenished and refreshed matters.

“Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters—refreshes others—will himself be watered.” (Proverbs 11)

An affirmation of Charlie Parker’s reminder, “If it ain’t in you, it can’t come out of your horn.”

What moves and heals and stirs and replenishes the individual soul, can also move and heal the world. So. It’s paradigm shift time…  When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?

In reclaiming large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, we are able to then reflect it towards others. Sabbath Moments
