"Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time" 1 Peter 5:6. Proud and powerful people may think they can disregard others' displeasure, but they cannot disregard God's opposition. Peter reminds us not to trust in ourselves but the One who will exalt us "in due time." As we submit to Him, we avoid the risk that pride brings to our character and we become thankful, humble servants of God! No one can glorify self and Christ at the same time!
