Psalm 146:8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly.
I read this the other day “In Christianity, God came down to where we were to lift us up to where He is!” What a thought, as we remember He has raised us up along with Christ and seated us in the heavenly realms with Him.(Ephesians 2:6) We may not feel like it sometimes, but God says it is so!😊
He didn’t come and say “Well you’re in too big a mess, not much we can do about it!” No! He came to lift us up out of our sin and anything and everything that has us bound. Hallelujah!
God is Love, so we could say Love came down to our level in order to lift us up to His level. Love lifted us up, Love holds us up, Love forgives us and sees the best in us, and how did that love come?
It came by grace through faith in Jesus, who is God, who is Love. So God’s grace, His undeserved favour, physically came to us from heaven in the person of the Lord Jesus in order to lift us up, to reconcile us and bring us to Himself. It’s good to be reminded sometimes, isn’t it?😊
Do you need some lifting up today? Then turn to Jesus, He is the lifter of our heads, the restorer of our tired souls, the peace giver. He is El Shaddai, the All Sufficient One, the Almighty who has the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge …(Isaiah 11:2)
Whatever we can possibly need is to be found in our Lord Jesus so let’s come to Him afresh as we begin a new week and receive His love, His unmerited favour and let Him do what He came to do - to lift us up to His level. Thank You Lord.
Psalm 3:3 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.
