Humble yourself

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. (1 Peter 5:6)

My faith doesn't seem to cover this promise from God. I do my best to keep humble before God, but I can't stop wondering when "due time" will come. Today, perhaps?

Of course, when I reflect on "God's mighty hand" it gives me pause. I don't want to be a grumbler and God's mighty hand is a rather intimidating (in a good way) means of keeping me humble. I guess I'll keep reminding myself that being humble isn't just about me being humble, but it's also about being under God's mighty hand.
