something to ponder

I was talking with my neighbor in my hall last night and it was just a really interesting convo.  I was telling him how when I ‘m so buried in myself that God reaches down and gives me a love tap, well- more like a smack upside the back of my head, to remind me of His sovereignty and grace.  God is so good!  I was reading Psalm 24 and talks about entering into God’s presence, and in the second half of the chapter it says “lift up your heads… so that the King of Glory may come in.”  LIFT UP YOUR HEADS. That’s so true for me.  Lift up your head, look past your self, and see the King of Glory, the Lord strong and mighty.  As I continue to approach the throne, broken and selfish, I pray that the Lord would continue to decrease myself and increase Himself in my life. “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” Galatians 2:20.

“Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He has done.”   (To God Be the Glory – hymn)

Each day I am saved from myself, to God, and for others.  to God be the Glory.
