“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.” 1 Peter‬ ‭5:6-7‬ ‭KJV‬‬. Sometimes people wonder why these 2 verses are linked so closely together. Why is humility associated with such a beautiful truth as God caring for us? The reality is, these are divinely inspired words addressed to our spiritual needs. God wants us to know how very much He cares for us. He wants us to know that as His children, we are invited to come to Him and cast all our cares on Him. He desires to bear our burdens. But here, God is also reminding us, that only the truly humble soul will come to Him ready to let go of their burdens and cares. Far too many times we imagine that we can handle things on our own. We carry heavy burdens and needlessly become weighed down by the cares of life. All while our loving Father desires for us to humble ourselves and come to Him. Sadly, many people look at the thought of humbling ourselves, as a sign of weakness. But the truth is, the humble soul is the strongest and most joyful of all. It is only in a humble walk with God that we find the freedom to be the dependent children God created us to be.
