- JESUS!
(continued)
1 Peter 5:6-8 (New International Version)
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.
Be
self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion
looking for someone to devour.
If
your life is out of control, if it is making you weary, or if it seems to be going
along just fine . . . . You need to hear what I am about to say! Why?
Because there is only one way out of trouble, one cure for worry, one way to see
your life change for the better.
This
also applies to those who are going through great times, because life has a way of
changing.
One way! JESUS!
Three parts
Humble, Cast and
Control!
Humble - before GOD
Cast
- All cares belong to the LORD
Control
- Be self-controlled, because you are in a war and your enemy is ruthless!
Today
we will talk briefly about the humble part. Our Scripture says to humble
ourselves in HIS sight. Sounds easy, but
if you pay attention, it is amazing how many times we give ourselves the credit for HIS
work.
It is just too easy to think
that we are the ones who empower ourselves. Nothing could be further from the
truth, and no matter how strong (in your own might) you may be, the day will come
when you will realize that it is HIS power that
counts.
As we submit ourselves to HIM,
we find that HE takes joy in bringing us through
the most difficult of times. Even as David noted in Psalm 23, HE
will walk us through the Valley of the Shadow of Death!
JESUS
is Life and without HIM we are nothing, but with
HIM . . . well, the possibilities
are limitless!
