Friday - Psalm 113 - From Poop to Princes

A

ccording to this Psalm, we should praise God all day long.  Why?  Well, among other things, He has taken us from the dunghill and has exalted us to a very privileged position indeed.  “He raises up the poor out of the dust…” (Psalm 113:7-8).  Although we were poor and needy sinners, quite literally, He lifted us up from the miry clay and planted our feet on solid ground.  He has removed us from a pile of poop and has given us status among princes.  In fact, He has even made us into princes. God “has made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” (Revelation 5:10).  Praise be to the mighty God of heaven who has stooped so low that He could lift us up from our hopeless despair and establish a future for us. He is compassionate in that way... caring for the downtrodden, the underdogs, the lonely and alone.  What a wonderful God we serve!  Amen?  Hallelujah!
