God Stoops Down to Lift You Up
Being born of God, our citizenship is in Heaven and our life graph is always upwards irrespective of the fluctuations we may face here on Earth, because God is our source and we have a pull from above to reign in every area of our lives.
Psalm 113:5
Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high,
The God of Israel is Lord of all universe or in other words the Lord of all universe is identified as the God of a small nation, Israel. The Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient God is a true and living God and He is our God.
In the old testament era, each nation had their own gods and each nation had a competitive mindset during wars that their god would help and deliver them. And they concluded that the god of the nation who wins is greater than the other. Elijah challenged the prophets in his time to follow the true and living God.
1 Kings 18:23-24
Get two bulls for us. Let Baal’s prophets choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord. The god who answers by fire—he is God.
The other prophets called on the name of Baal from morning till evening; but there was no response. Afterwards, Elijah prepared the altar and asked them to fill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering and on the wood. He asked them to do so two more times and the water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench. At the time of sacrifice, Elijah stepped forward and prayed: “Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.” Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench. When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The Lord—he is God! The Lord—he is God!”
The nation of Israel challenged the other nations to proclaim that there is only one living God and that God is the God of Israel.
Psalm 113:6
who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth? He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes, with the princes of his people. He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children.
God is seated so high above that He has to stoop down to look on the heavens and the earth.
God stoops down to
Ash heap is symbolic of a pile showing loss/ hopelessness/ destruction. God can restore your life from ruins. God blessed Job with a double measure of all that he lost. God took Joseph from the pit to the palace.
God first settles the childless women and then made them happy mothers. Hannah is the example of a woman (1 Samuel 1.19-20) whom God blessed from the ash heap and gave her a son. Her happiness was expressed in the song she wrote in 1 Samuel 2. 1-10.
1 Samuel 2:8-10
He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and on them he has set the world.”
God stoops down to straighten our crippled state.
Romans 5:5
And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
God stoops down to lift you up and make you a display of His glory. His mercies are unending and new every morning. Therefore, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. There’s hope for you in Christ Jesus even in the darkest hour of your life!
