Lord Jesus, You humbled Yourself and came to earth to bring salvation and redemption in righteousness and truth. Isaiah says he will rejoice in the LORD for He clothed him with garments of salvation and covered him with the robe of righteousness. May we be clothed in humility, Lord, loving one another, submitting to one another, not considering ourselves above others. Help us to be full of grace and truth, as You exemplify. May our thoughts, words and deeds glorify the Father in the name and authority of Jesus, our salvation and righteousness, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.

“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.’” (1 Peter 5:5 NKJV)
