The Way Up Is Down

In a world that celebrates self-promotion, the Bible calls us to something radically different: humility. The way up in God's kingdom is always down. In 1 Peter 5:5-6, Peter calls the whole church to clothe themselves in humility and bow under the mighty hand of God, trusting him to do the lifting. Because the God who opposes the proud is the same God who gives grace to the humble.
