Be of sober spirit , be on the alert . Your adversary , the devil , prowls around like a roaring lion , seeking someone to devour . But resist him , firm in your faith , knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world . – 1 Peter 5:8-9
4 . STAY HUMBLE : Be vigilant against pride . Get the log out of your eye . Don ’ t think less of yourself , think of yourself less .
Let the righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me ; It is oil upon the head ; Do not let my head refuse it , for still my prayer is against their wicked deeds . – Psalm 141:5
You younger men , likewise , be subject to your elders ; and all of you , clothe yourselves with humility toward one another , for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD , BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE . Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God , that He may exalt you at the proper time , casting all your anxiety on Him , because He cares for you . – 1 Peter 5:5-7
5 . SERVE THE KING : Seek first His Kingdom , His glory , His righteousness . Hope in the eternal . Live for a greater reward .
“ But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness , and all these things will be added to you .” – Matthew 6:33 ”
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served , but to serve , and to give His life a ransom for many .” – Mark 10:45
