If we stay focused on the call that God has placed us in and let Him carry us through that call, then we have no time to become proud and boastful. But if we look around trying to out do others, then the door is open for the devil to rush in and confuse your whole mission. Stay focused on God, He will help you resist evil and help you be humble in all you do!!!
5 You who are younger in the faith: do as your elders and leaders ask. All of you should treat each other with humility, for as it says in Proverbs,
God opposes the proud
but offers grace to the humble.
6 So bow down under God’s strong hand; then when the time comes, God will lift you up.
7 Since God cares for you, let Him carry all your burdens and worries.
8 Most importantly, be disciplined and stay on guard. Your enemy the devil is prowling around outside like a roaring lion, just waiting and hoping for the chance to devour someone.
9 Resist him and be strong in your faith, knowing that your brothers and sisters throughout the world are fellow sufferers with you.
10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of grace who has called you [to His everlasting presence through Jesus the Anointed will restore you, support you, strengthen you, and ground you.
11 For all power belongs to God, now and forever. Amen.
