I got this! — "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for 1 you." 1 Peter 5:6-7.
— How often do we say, "I got this!" when, deep down, we're wrestling with worry? Pride often whispers that we can handle everything alone, leading us down a path of anxiety. When we insist on control, we ignore the very One who offers true peace.
— This passage from 1 Peter reminds us that humility is the antidote to anxiety. By acknowledging our dependence on God, we release the burden of self-reliance. When we cast our anxieties on Him, we admit we don't "got this" alone. And that's okay. In that surrender, we find the strength and peace that only He can provide.
— True strength lies in recognizing our weakness and trusting in His power. ~Ed

“If you were injured, just know that was not my intention.” -- “I’m sorry you got your feelings hurt.” – “Things happened. It’s part of life.” – These are statements that everyone has heard and a lot of us have said to others. These are the statements of a person who refuses to acknowledge their own wrongdoing, who refuses responsibility for hurting others, or (worse yet) who sincerely believes they have done nothing wrong. In either case, these statements are often used in place of an apology, but they aren’t really apologizing for anything. ► Jesus told us in Matthew 5:23-24 that if we are worshipping, specifically if we are giving an offering (like the tithe) and realize someone has a something against us, to stop what we’re doing, and GO FIRST to reconcile with the one we have wronged, then return to worship. If believers are instructed by the Lord Himself to make amends, we need to make sure we do it correctly. A proper apology has 4 steps: 1.) We acknowledge our wrongdoing, even if it wasn’t intentional. 2.) We accept responsibility for our actions and the effect of those actions. 3.) We apologize — say the words! — and humbly ask for forgiveness. 4.) We correct our actions to keep from repeating our offense. ► The most effective tool for positive growth in our relationships really could be the ability to apologize correctly. ► https://LionAndLambCC.com/

I was having a theological discussion with some friends recently and had difficulty accurately verbalizing my position on a specific topic. So, back to the books. Iron sharpens iron and I will make a better case next time around. As I reflect on it, I think this verse is one of the best descriptions of the ABSOLUTE sovereignty of God.
