July 21: Chronicles 4 today by Br. Kari
Theme: Jehovah the head-lifter.
Text: 1 Samuel 2:8 (NIV)
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. “For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s; on them he has set the world.
Reflection:
God is great and He is capable of doing the impossible. He possesses the ability to elevate individuals from the bottom to the top if they choose to place their faith in Him. It is undeniable that He has transformed prisoners into presidents, shepherd boy to giant slayer, men wrapped with debts to mighty men of valor, prostitutes into heroes, and fishermen into kingdom ambassadors. These are feats that only the LORD can accomplish.
Today’s reading conveys that God can elevate those who are in need and look up to Him, lifting them from a place of lowliness and making them into leaders. It is possible to go from begging on the side of the road to having an abundance of resources and being able to improve the lives of others. This is the power of the Sovereign God, who holds the foundation of the world in His hands.
Have you been told that you can never rise because you are presently in a beggarly condition? Does it look as if you will never make it to the top even though you love and serve God faithfully? God did not call you to remain at the bottom. He longs for You to seek Him and Jehovah, the head-lifter, has a plan to lift up your head at the appropriate time. Continue to walk faithfully with Him because He has not finished with you yet!
Prayer:
Thank you Father, i worship You today because you have decreed the lifting up of my head from a poor state to make me inherit the throne of glory in the name of Jesus. Amen
See you at the top!
