Who is lifted up and who is lowly?
Who is known and who is unknown?
Who will tip the scales of earthly balance and transfer the wealth of the wicked to the righteous?
Who will remove all wickedness from our government and restore common sense and morality?
Who will restore justice to our justice system?
God.
What is our part?
To respond to Him. To believe Him. To live like Him. To pray real prayers of faith and victory and stop praying from defeat.
Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, you His servants; praise the name of the Lord. Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised. The Lord is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, the One Who sits enthroned on high, Who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth? He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; He seats them with princes, with the princes of His people. He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord. Psalm 113
Today I encourage you to sit in awe.
Be awed by Him again…or maybe for the first time.
May we never lose our wonder. Look upon Him in wonder.
Be enamored with Him.
Sit and close your eyes and gaze upon His glorious face. He is worthy.
Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted. Both horse and driver He has hurled into the sea. The Lord is my strength and my defense; He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him. The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name. Pharoah’s chariots and his army He has hurled into the sea. The best of Pharoah’s officers are drowned in the Red Sea. The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone. Your right hand, Lord, was majestic in power. Your right hand, Lord, shattered the enemy. In the greatness of Your majesty You threw down those who opposed You. You unleashed Your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble. By the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood up like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea. The enemy boasted, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake them. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword and my hand will destroy them.’ But You blew with Your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. Who among the gods is like You, Lord? Who is like You- majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? You stretch out Your hand, and the earth swallows Your enemies. In Your unfailing love You will lead the people You have redeemed. In Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling. The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the people of Philistia, The chiefs of Edom will be terrified, the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling, the people of Canaan will melt away; terror and dread will fall on them. By the power of Your arm they will be as still as a stone- until Your people pass by, Lord, until the people You bought pass by. You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance- the place, Lord, You made for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, Lord, Your hands established. The Lord reigns forever and ever. Exodus 15:1-18
