I Peter Chapter 5 - December 8, 2008

2-5 - One statement really sums it up - God opposes the proud. Leaders should lead out of humility. People being led should follow out of humility.

6 - God knows what is best for us...including when things should really go well. We must humbly trust that God knows the proper time for us to experience success. (Isn't that really tough though?)

9 - Maybe Satan has allowed us in the States to live fat and happy lives because those kind of lives are even more dangerous for our faith than suffering filled lives? What about this, "Stand firm in the faith, knowing that people all around you are living easy self-centered lives that lead only to emptiness and lack of trust in God."
