Follow the Leader…

Pride was the original sin. Satan is full of it. Much is written in the Bible about too much pride. Jesus, as always, is the One we should look to when we need an example of how we should act. He is the King of Kings. All of creation belongs to Him and was created strictly for His pleasure, yet when he came to this world He did not come as He rightfully could have, as the King of Kings with all of its privilege; instead He was born in a barn and His bed was made of straw. Jesus was humble throughout His life on this earth. We should be humble throughout our lives on this earth. The Bible states that the next time Jesus makes an appearance, He will be exalted and appear in all of His splendor and glory with an innumerable host of angels. It also tells us that we should cast all of our care upon Him and in due time He will likewise exalt us. I say follow the Leader…

1Peter 5:5
Likewise you younger people,
submit yourselves to your elders.
Yes all of you be submissive to one
another, and be clothed with
humility, for
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the
humble,”
Therefore humble yourselves
under the mighty hand of God, that He
may exalt you in due time,
casting all your care upon Him,
for He cares for you.
