A
reminder for today
The
LORD makes some poor and others rich; He brings some down and lifts others up.
He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. He sets
them among princes, placing them in seats of honour. For all the earth is the
LORD's, and He has set the world in order. (1 Samuel 2:7-8)
Hannah’s prayer of praise.
This is just an amazing prayer of praise that Hannah
prays to the Lord. Verse 7 and 8 caught my attention. I love how she says that
the Lord lifts the poor out from the garbage dump and places them among
princes. I can just imagine how grateful Hannah must be to the Lord for
changing her life and giving her a son. When she says that the Lord lifts the
needy up, I can just see how tough her life must’ve been when she was childless
in a world where a woman's worth is measured in her children. She must’ve been embarrassed
and I am sure she felt a lot of times that she is worthless.
My dear friend, the Lord wants me to tell you today that
you are not worthless. God weights your value in gold and He places you among
princes. You are beautiful and perfect in every way, because you were designed
and created by the Creator of heaven and earth. There are no flaws in your
design so you should not think yourself any lesser than the next person. No matter
your mistakes or whatever you past looks like, you are perfect to God and He
loves you unconditionally. Jesus said: “I
am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except
through me.”
Come and let us accept who we are and let us shine for Jesus
and show the world that God made us perfect for He that dwells within us is
perfect.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
