God will lift you up [June 28,2022 ]
God will lift you up [June 28,2022 ]
God will lift you up
Psalm 75:6-7
For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another
Everyone wants to succeed in life but some of us look for success in the wrong places.
The verse above says promotion or success comes from God. He lifts one and puts down another.
1Peter 5:6 says
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.
Humility I believe involves:
-Swallowing your pride and doing the will of God even when you are misunderstood or wrongly accused. (Romans 12:17)
– Allowing God to vindicate you instead of doing it yourself (Psalm 35:1)
-Doing the work of God no matter what it costs you(Romans 12:1-2)
Colossians 3:23-24
And whatever ye do, do it heartily as to God and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord you will receive the reward of your inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ
This verse from the new testament encourages us to see everything we do as trying to please God instead of men.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Never seek to please men.
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song
Let the Lord have His way
In your life everyday
There is no rest
There is no peace
Until the Lord has his way
Place your life in His arms
Rest secured in His palms
Let the Lord
Let the Lord have His way.
Amen
