Under the mighty hand of God
1 Peter 5:6
"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time"
The path to blessing is humility. We need to recognise the mighty hand of God and submit to it, humbling ourselves under it, rather than resisting it and fighting against it.
Readings:
Jeremiah 27:1-13, Romans 13:1-7, Acts 4:13-20, 1 Peter 2:13-17
1/ The reason for the exhortation - For God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
2/ The exhortation - Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God.
3/ The expectation of blessing - that he may exalt you in due time.
