He Lifts You Up

[rlm-1966]

Today's Scripture

"I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair…He set my feet on solid ground…He has given me a new song to sing…" (Psalm 40:1-3, NLT).

Have you ever felt like you were in a pit of despair? Just like God lifted David out, God is going to lift you out. Where you are right now is not where you’re going to stay. There are brighter days up ahead for you filled with favor, promotion, and increase. As you walk uprightly before Him, no good thing will He withhold from you.

Notice that God gives us a new song. We have to do our part to sing that song. That means you don’t go around talking about your problems, how bad things are, or how you’re never going to make it. No, you have a song of victory! If somebody asks you how you’re doing, your attitude should be, "I’m too blessed to be stressed! I’m moving forward in strength and power." Remember, praise precedes the victory, and the Bible tells us that God is enthroned on our praises. As you magnify and lift Him up, He will lift you up out of your despair. He’ll set your feet on solid ground, and you’ll move forward

Lord lift us up, and let us rejoice with victory in Jesus, amen.

 

[K-J]

Amen to that! He has raised me up many times before, and I know with absolute certainty He will continue to do so. His word is sovereign and true - I claim every word of it as mine. Victory through praise and thanksgiving!

 

[Rashmi]

Lord Jesus you have lifted my burdens countless times. Thank you Lord Jesus for loving me. Yes Lord may I continue to praise your name!
