morning bible times
this morning i’m sititng in a random starbucks in eagle, idaho.
i dont know anyone. i’ve never been here. i have my bible. my computer. and my journal.
my phone died and i wont have one until tuesday. and i’m not as sad about it as i usually would be.
vacation day 2 is starting off very very nice.
this morning i found myself finishing up the book of 1st Peter. this letter is throwing me for some real loops. but here is where i found a deep well of encouragement this morning. in chapter 5, starting in verse 5:
In the same way, you who are younger submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves in humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the the humble.”
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of suffering.
And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast. To Him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Amen indeed….
