Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. James 4:10

While traveling around yesterday I saw a man sitting along side the road with a sign that read..."down on luck, lost job, no home, need a job and food. Please help". I stopped to visit with him and another man who was there. Sharing a little of what I had...gave me the opportunity to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Fortunately both believed in Jesus. We prayed and I left. 

The message I shared with that man named Michael....this world is unforgiving. Things can and do happen that leave us in a helpless state. So much so, that it's hard to even stand up. It's like everything that supports you is gone and we have no where to look but up.  That truly was the case for Michael. 

The good news is God will help those in their humble state. Sometimes God allows things to happen in our life that result in significant loss...and we come to the realization that we can't do it on our own. It's at that point, through our great loss we have more room in our heart for God's holy presence. There is nothing sweeter for a person than to feel the presence of God with you. Nothing and I mean nothing in this world matters as much as our relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. 
He alone will supply all your needs. 

Today, maybe you aren't homeless, but have experienced a great loss....job, loved one, home, good health. In your humble state, realize that God is there, ready to fill you with His presence and love....so you can stand up again in life and move forward. The devil can knock you down, but God will lift you up. Standing on the promises of God's word is victory over our enemy Satan. God loves you friend and is ready to lift you up....put your faith and trust in Him. God bless!
