“Humble Yourselves”
To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness
of Christ's sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed:
Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not
because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not
greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to
you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you
will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
Young
men, in the same way be submissive to those who are
older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility
toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the
humble.” 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.
1 Peter 5:1-7
Some
of us make big impressions on other people, some of us
have other roles. Be humble, and follow where the Lord leads you.
You
can be humble, admired, and be ready for heaven. So, not knowing what the
future brings, follow the Lord. He will show you where
you need to be.
Humility is the recipe for success.
