—1 Peter 5:1-6
by: Susan Bond.
Our six-year-old granddaughter Michaela, sounded different. Bedecked with strands of colorful beads thrown to her at the Veterans Day Parade, her voice took on the quality of a high-society debutante.
Peter challenges us to clothe ourselves with humility, as though putting it on will affect our behavior. How does this work? I ask myself, "What changed Michaela's voice: the beads or the image impressed upon her by having seen women in fancy beads?"
Peter, having witnessed Christ's suffering and resulting resurrection, had the image of humility and glory impressed upon him. Only with his eyes fastened on Christ could he emulate the One clothed in humility.
