God Lifts You Up!
"The Lord lifts up the humble."
Psalm 147:6
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, and its massive
size gives it powerful gravitational force, 2.5 times that of earth.
That means if you weigh 100 pounds on
earth, you would weigh
250 pounds on Jupiter. Think of how
hard it would be to get out
of bed every morning on Jupiter!
Some days we do feel like there are unusual gravitational forces
pulling us down. Sometimes we feel heavy downward pull on our
personalities, emotionally, morally, and spiritually. But, One who
rose from the Mount of Olives and ascended into the clouds can
keep us uplifted and buoyant. When we walk humbly with Him,
He lifts our countenance. When we lift Him up in praise, He
lifts
our spirits. He lifts us high enough to get good breath of heaven.
Make this an uplifting year by having the humility to cast your
burdens on Lord’s shoulders and to treat others with kindness,
gentleness, and concern. Put the Lord first and others second.
When Jupiter-life forces weigh you down, let the force of Jesus
lift you up. When we lift Him up in our hearts, He lifts us up by
His power.
"God knows the cure for a heart weighed
down by concerns and irritations—praise!"
