I Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.
If you have prayer where you do encounter the presence of God, you will be humble. (See Enter The Throne Room Of God) What else can cause you to be more humble? Your prayers and obedience have already put you “under the mighty hand of God.” No, we are not perfect, but our disobedience is not intended or consistent. Although, the Lord expects more from us.
What one must take note of are the words, “in due time”. This is especially true when being mistreated with lies. Time could mean soon or it could mean in eternity. Just remember the love and patience God has shown you. God has only promised to vindicate His children who suffer if they remain humble.
