He Will Lift You Up

     The Bible has some choice words for the pride within us. Pride goes before a fall. God hates pride

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Proverbs 11:2

The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this. They will not go unpunished. Proverbs 16:5

     Meeting Jesus brings us to our knees. We see the holy, perfect and just God and we see ourselves as we are, unworthy. Jesus wipes the slate clean with His blood. Our sins washed away, once and for all. Our humble hearts are renewed! And He lifts us up.

Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up. James 4:10

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand that He may lift you up in due time. 1 Peter 5;6

     Our humility and our weakness allow God’s mighty Spirit to work through us. It is Him, not us. Thankfully, His power shines through our weakest moments and our most dire circumstances. He is enough. Always.

Jesus,

Thank You. We praise You. We humbly thank You for all You have done for us, for all you do for us, for all you will do for us. The past, present and future are in Your hands. Lift us up.

Amen
