SCRIPTURE: "...and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, BUT gives grace to the humble." (I Peter 5:5)
I love the way The Message puts it:
"But all of you leaders and followers alike, are to be down to earth with each other, for - God has had it with the proud,
BUT takes delight in just plain people."
OBSERVATION: Humilty means that you have an unassuming nature, attitude, and behavior about you. Someone that is humble will show respect and deference toward other people without pretensions.
APPLICATION: As I was reading my Life Application Study Bible I came across these simple points about this verse.
"Both youg and old can benefit from Peters' instructions. Pride often keeps older people from trying to understand young people and keeps young people from listening to those who are older. Peter told both young and old to be humble and to serve each other. Young men should follow the leadership of older men, who should lead by example. Respect those who are older than you , listen to those younger than you, and be humble enough to admit that you can learn from others."
