March 20 Scripture Meditations Based on 2Kings 14-17 Key Verse – 2Kings 14:10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee? MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR LIFTING ME UP Thank You for lifting me up from sinful failure After forgiving my heart, repentantly demure While cleansing me with Your purging censure Never pushing me toward the filthy and impure. Thank You for lifting me up from guilty position After receiving my acknowledgment of my corruption While sanctifying me from deception Never driving me toward idolatry and abomination. Thank You for lifting me up from frustrated becoming After awakening my soul from worldly dreaming While alerting me against humanism’s harming Never casting me toward vanity soaking and roaming. Thank You for lifting me up from humiliating haughtiness After seeking my mind midst rebelliousness While reaching out to me in Your humility’s meekness Never thrusting me toward pride and arrogance stiffness. Thank You for lifting me up from selfish downfall After disciplining my will to give my all While imprisoning me within Your loving wall Never shutting me toward self-glorifying and self-pitying hall. Thank You for lifting me up from futile mediocrity After teaching my spirit the need to learn for fruitful maturity While instilling in me my part in biblical Christianity Never guiding me toward uncertainty and insecurity.
