1 Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves - Those who submit patiently to the dispensations of God' s providence he lifts up; those who lift themselves up, God thrusts down.
If we humble not ourselves under God' s grace, he will humble us under his judgments. Those who patiently submit to him, he exalts in due time; if his hand be mighty to depress, it is also mighty to exalt.
