I Peter 5:6–8
      6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
      7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

      8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.

​

We see here that the result of humbling ourselves under God’s mighty hand and casting our care on Him is sobriety. We won’t cast our care on the Lord if we’re intoxicated with worry.

​

When symptoms come, don’t give place to worry. Worry is a wide-open door that allows symptoms to grow into full-blown sickness. Instead, humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, cast your care upon Him, and stand in His peace. Peace closes the door that worry tries to open, giving faith room to work and the Word of God the highest place in your heart. (Mark 5:34)

​

If you’re drunk on worry, you’ve left an open door for the enemy to step in and make the situation even worse.

When we’re facing opposition, we humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, and He exalts us above the care. Worry keeps us holding on to what God has told us to release. We won’t truly give our care to Him until we first humble ourselves.

​

Humility acknowledges that God’s hand is greater than the weight of our circumstances. As we humble ourselves, we cast our care on Him, and His peace brings us into sobriety from the inside out.

​

In a nutshell: We humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, cast our care on Him, and He exalts us above the care.

 

Have a great day, and remember Jesus is coming soon!!!
