How To See Something New

 

Because he has

   humbled himself

   before Me...

        1 Kings 21. 29

When we are on our knees,

we see everything around us

    from a different perspective.

Praying is taking 

   a new posture before the LORD,

      not a place of defeat,

   but receiving His deeper vision

            in the midst of them.

And God always uses that

  to change our trajectory.

A humble heart,

     coming before God

     and responding to Him,

             enlarges our vision.

Our pride no longer blinds us

         or binds us.

What does God have to do

   with this situation of ours?

Everything.

O LORD,

Help us to know that 

coming before You

      with humble hearts

is not a place of weakness,

but fills us with 

        a greater strength

than we can realize.

Help us not just

    take a different posture

    before You,

but take up Your purposes

   and see all things new.

We come to You,

   and You embrace us.
