Lifted

 Scripture:

“You lift the poor and homeless out of the garbage dump and give them places of honor in royal palaces. You set the world on foundations, and they belong to you.”  1 Samuel‬ ‭2:8‬ ‭CEV‬‬

Observation:

Hannah is singing a song here to the Lord concerning what He had done for her when He enabled her to get pregnant after years of asking. She says that God lifts the poor and homeless out of the garbage dump and give them places of honor. In other words, God can take anyone, from anywhere, and lift them up when they offer their lives to Him.

Application:

God lifts up those who are committed to Him. When we offer God our lives, we are in for the ride of our lives. He will lift us up out of the garbage dump of life and bring us into royal places. He will astound us when we are completely His. The goal is to be completely His, then we can expect Him to lift us us. He also tells us that He lifts up the humble and puts down the proud.  We must seek Him in humility and let Him lift us up.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, You are incredible! I love how You lift Your people up from nothingness and give us hope and a future. Help me to walk humbly before You all the days of my life and help me to serve You well in my generation. You are worthy of my very best!

Yours Forever,
