My God, Thank You For Lifting Me Up
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.
