1 Peter 5: 5-10

When we go camping as a family we each try to pick a passage of scripture that means something to us and then memorize it. Now, I managed to find something that really spoke to me relating to where I am in my life. However, I can not say that I got it memorized. In any case, I thought I would share it with you now.

You younger men, accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, serve each other in humility, for

"God sets himself against the proud

but he shows favour to the humble."

So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and in his good time he will honour you. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you. Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. Take a firm stand against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are. In his kindness God called you to his eternal glory by means of Jesus Christ. After you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.
