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.” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.

1 Peter 5:5-6
So let’s ask ourselves: When it comes to the values we live by, what will others say about us one day? Will they testify that humility characterized our lives?–
1 Peter 5:5-6
So many human ventures, so many grand designs of mankind, have been undermined because humility was lacking on the part of those invoked. This is because God opposes the proud. Yet humility holds out an amazing promise to those who will embrace it: God gives grace to the humble!
With what are you building your life? Your marriage? Your family? Your business? Your ministry? Your career? In all your ventures, are you aware of your need for God’s grace to give you success? Do you long for God’s providential help and blessing? Then allow the promise of humility to shape your lives and choices, So your children and others will one day look back and say of you, he had that. He had humility. He had what mattered. He crowned all his virtues with humility. And for this reason, God blessed him abundantly.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to emulate your humility.Scriptural Reading:
Peter 5:5-11
