"When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up;" (Job 22:29) Life has a way of casting us down, sapping our strength and energy, rendering us exhausted and used up. We may be cast down in physical strength as a result of exhaustion and stress. We may be cast down in intelligence, finance, strategy, health, etc. The daily information we get from our news sources are enough to cast down our spirit. News of the plummeting global economy, falling stock market, disease epidemic, inhumanity and terrorism. There is fear and tension everywhere; and naturally our hearts are cast down in fear and dismay. But God has not left His children. While the world is running helter skelter looking for where they may get succor; while they are running from pillar to post in search of serenity and peace of the mind; our good God has already made a provision to secure our peace. He says when men are cast down, then we shall say, there is a lifting. Our fate is going to be different from that of the evil world around us. Our fate and progress will not be tied to their corrupt systems. We will not depend on their bad governments, falling economy and insecurities. When they are cast down, we will be continually lifted. There is no space below for the true child of God. Our place is above. We are designed to soar like the eagles. We are created to excel. We are continually lifted up..
David said, "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright." (Psa 20:7,8). As long as we have our hope and faith fixed in God, He provides us a haven to all the problems of this life. Others may be brought down, but we shall be lifted. It doesn't matter how bad things get out there; or how many people are cast down. As far as we are concerned, there is a lifting.
Be lifted in this month of upliftment
