1 Peter 5:6-11

"humble yourselves...under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you" 

How can I humble myself in this way? If anything I see myself as someone who rarely feels the need to lift myself up over others, and yet I see that there is more for me to learn about humbling myself under God's hand...what does this look like?

"Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world." 

I see this every day. Our battle in following Christ isn't the trials, but giving up in the midst of those trials.
