Blessings!
Welcome to the Nov 30th Edition of Word Filled Wednesday :)
Please join Kim of Marmee's Pantry and I each week as we write out our hearts response to what we are reading in His Word :)
I am reading and meditating on 1 Peter 5:6-7
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
When I hear the word, Humble, I think weak and an easy push over. A door mat. What about you? I think that this must be a sign of weakness. Strong's puts it this way,
tapĕinŏō
, tap-i-nŏ´-o; from 5011; to depress; fig. to humiliate (in condition or heart):—abase, bring low, humble (self)
When I think of Who God is, that humbles me naturally. I come into the reality of who I am in perspective to Him. He is larger then life! The Giver of Life! The Mighty God, El Shaddai! El Elyon, The Creator of All Things! The Beginnning and the End! I could go on and on with His names and so can you :-) When I do this, my position naturaly depresses, lowers, bows before Him. I naturally want to bow down and lower myself in worship and in awe! And when we do this, He does in His time, exalt us. Our heart's cry is changed from need to peace. Our reality is brought before us, that we serve a God who cares for our every need and wants us to throw it down at His feet so we can get back to our purpose in life, and that is to Worship the King! Our whole being was created for that one purpose. And when we see Him, we naturally will humble our selves and cast our crowns at His feet at that glorious day but now, let us bow down and worship Him for Who He is.. The Mighty King who comes to us as a lowly baby, born in a manger who died on the cross to become our Redeemer, our Emmanuel!
in His love,
