1 Peter 5:5-7
Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to 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.
God gives grace to the humble, to those who humble themselves under God's mighty hand. God's mighty hand disciplines you and me when we stubbornly act out of the sinful nature of the Devil in us.He disciplines us more than what our earthly fathers could do, until the harvest of righteousness appears in us. When we are young, we did not know what was right and wrong because the truth was clouded by untruths. When we are older, we know by the power of God the Holy Spirit, when He convicts our hearts of sin and its consequences.
