Feeling Down? God Will Lift You Up

The Lord is high above all nations;

His glory is in the heavens.

Who is like the Lord our God,

Who is enthroned on high,

Who humbles Himself to behold

The things that are in heaven and in the earth?

He raises the poor from the dust

And lifts the needy from the ash heap,

To make them sit with princes,

With the princes of His people.

Psalm 113:4-8

Redeemed And In Service

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus.

 

1 Timothy 1:12-13

Staying Out Of Trouble Equals Contentment

But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.  For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either.  If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.

I Timothy 6:6-8

God Leads Us To A Better Life

…Do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? 

Romans 2:4

God Sympathizes With Us

For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.  Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 4:15-16.

Saved From Judgement

With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to the Lord;

And in the midst of many I will praise Him. 

For He stands at the right hand of the needy,

To save him from those who judge his soul. 

Psalms 109:30-31.
