1 Peter 5:6-7–Humble Yourselves and Cast Your Anxieties

1 Peter 5:6-7: "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you."

Perhaps the most difficult task for humans as well as one of the most essential is the task of humbling one's self.  The very idea itself can sometimes be a humiliating proposition.  It is thus ironic that there is nothing more liberating and more empowering than humbling yourself and laying your anxieties on Christ.  This is the task for Christians.  It is our call, that we would humble ourselves before the Holy Lord as we cast our worries upon the Lord.  But it turns out that this is, in actuality, a simple task when we place Christ upon the throne of our lives.  Let us then strive to humble ourselves with all sincerity and devotion.
