God’s Timing

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you” 1 Peter 5:6 (ESV)

Some are quick to magnify themselves, usually at the expense of others, but not the follower of Christ. We should not get discouraged when we are overlooked for promotions or are not acknowledged by others for our accomplishments. Our life is not dependent on accolades of men, but on humbleness before our God and yielding to His timing.

Let’s pray today for patience and a willingness to depend on God’s exaltation, not man’s.
