Pride......or......humble?

Good morning everyone!! I trust your thanksgiving was an enjoyable and pleasant one with family and friends. After a week of conferences and thanksgiving it is good to be home and back to the devotionals. Remember, we are in 1 Peter 5:5, so here goes.

1 Peter 5:5 "In the same way, you younger men must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, serve each other in humility, for "God opposes the proud but favors the humble."

Both young and old can benefit from Peter's instructions. Pride often keeps older people from trying to understand young people and keeps young people from listening to those who are older. Peter told both young and old to be humble and to serve each other.

Young men should follow the leadership of older men, who should lead by example. Respect those who are older than you, listen to those younger than you, and be humble enough to admit that you can learn from others.

Strong words from Peter, but, oh so true. Think about these words, take heart, and do all in God's best interest. Thank you for reading with me today. Love you all!

In Christ's Love and Grace
