Commit to Memory: “When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.” (Job 22:29 KJV).
Friends, God’s ways are never man’s ways. So He says as far as He is concerned, because the Almighty has you in mind, when others are complaining of the state of things going worse for them, when they are full of regrets, complaints and murmuring and when they are saying there is a casting down. He says for you- You will be saying and confessing that there is a lifting up. Hallelujah.
Our God is Elshaddai, that means He’s all sufficient by Himself to supply every kind of need you may desire and need. In fact, He has all power, ability, wisdom, resources that we ever need to be divinely settled (Jer. 32:17, 27) for this reason He has designed us to live our destinies by His ability and effort and not ours. See what he says in this regard to settle His children.
“For this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: In just a little while I will again shake the heavens and the earth, the oceans and the dry land. I will shake all the nations, and the treasures of all the nations will be brought to this Temple. I will fill this place with glory, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. The future glory of this Temple will be greater than its past glory, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. And in this place I will bring peace. I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!” (Haggai 2:6-9 NLT)
But then, how can you be divinely settled by the Almighty? You’ll need to be born again (John 3:3-5, Gal. 5:22). Have you left the Faith? Then you must return and present your body as a daily living sacrifice in service to God (Rom. 12:2, Ps. 16:4), enter into a love covenant with God as this will terminate struggle and curses in your life (Rom. 13: 8-10, Gal. 3:13) etc. May He settle you in every sphere of life.
Reflection: When you build God’s throne in your heart such that His love captures your heart, you most certainly will lack nothing good.
