1 Peter 5:6-7
Humility is Self-effacing and it is Modest. It is quiet, reserved, shy, gracious, mild-mannered, and doesn't believe it's own press clippings. Humility is essential if you are a follower of Christ. Today's Big Idea: Be Humble if You Want God to Work for You.
''Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ''God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful.

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen'' (1 Peter 5:5b-11).

Second, God gives grace to the humble. This is wonderful news. Humility draws the gaze of our Sovereign God. ''All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word'' (Isaiah 66:2). H ...
