Wear Your Apron Today

1 Pet. 5:5
"Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for 'God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.' "

This verse is talking about submitting to our church leaders. To submit means we are to listen to Pastor C. attentively, trust him, treat him with respect, and learn from his teaching.

Being submissive to one another means we are to be humble, kind, respectful of others, willing to help others, and be willing to get along without arguing.

The greek word for "clothed" is an apron, which takes all the dirt so that our clothing stays clean. It takes humility to do dirty jobs. If you want God to give you grace and strength, you better be willing to be humble.
