Psalms 147:6, “The Lord lifts up the humble.”
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious word of God that comes to you is taken from the book of Psalms 147:6, “The Lord lifts up the humble.”
God says in this verse, that God lifts up those who are humble in nature. Many people desire to move forward in life, they wish to be lifted up and grow well in life day by day. For this purpose, you need to be humble in nature. If you are humble before God and man then God will lift you up in your status. So, in case you are rude and rough in nature, and very short-tempered, then you need to learn to be humble. Such children need to submit themselves before God and you need to mend your behaviour.
In the Bible, while referring to Moses God speaks about him as a meek and humble person. Now Moses was a very humble man, more than any man on the face of the earth. He was meek in my house, says the Lord. God had entrusted lakhs of people in the hands of Moses, to lead them to the land of Canaan. It is this meek nature of Moses that helped him to deliver the people of Israel from the cruel hands of the Egyptians. He was a capable leader even though they were stiff-necked people. They often murmured against God and Moses. Yet he was humble enough to pray and plead for their cause. God knew his good nature so He chose Moses to lead the people of Israel to the land flowing with milk and honey.
We can see another incident in the Bible, Mordecai was at the palace gate. Haman was troubling him again and again but he went on forward in life. He reached the peak of success, because He was honest, faithful and humble in nature. Even though he was rebuked and despised before others he bore everything patiently. Therefore God lifted him up and he was honoured by king Ahasuerus. Similarly, God will lift you. So today if you desire to move forward and excel in your life, in your studies, in your job, at your work spot, in your business and even in your ministry. Why even in your family life you need to acquire the nature of humbleness. Then God will lift you up.
Prayer: Lord, I thank you for lifting my children higher and higher and causing them to excel in all phases of their life. Some children feel that they are in the same position as before and there is no progress in their life. In case they are saying that they are unable to go forward, or achieve anything in life, for such kind of children, I pray that the hand of the Lord be stretched upon them. May the Lord bless them. Expand the borders of their territory. Let your hand be upon them . Let no harm or disease attack them. Keep them far from debts and sorrow. Let no evil befall them, protect them and preserve them.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
