Ezekiel 17:22-24 NKJV
Thus says the Lord God : “I will take also one of the highest branches of the high cedar and set it out. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and will plant it on a high and prominent mountain. On the mountain height of Israel I will plant it; and it will bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a majestic cedar. Under it will dwell birds of every sort; in the shadow of its branches they will dwell. And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the Lord , have brought down the high tree and exalted the low tree, dried up the green tree and made the dry tree flourish; I, the Lord , have spoken and have done it. ”

† Shalom †......! Day #349. Do you know that when you humble yourself before the Lord your God, He will lift up before men? Let's pray. Father, we do not seek our glory, but we want to lift up Your name. We want to You lifted up, a banner that flies across the skies. We want to see Jesus lifted high. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!
In James 4:10 NKJV, it is written that "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up." As I was reading this verse in Ezekiel 17, the Holy Spirit reminded me if this verse in James 4:10. Humbleness is the key for greater success in the Lord. I read a statement in the Facebook, it says, "success teaches you nothing, but mistakes makes you humble yourself." Yes, agree with this statement. Behind every success there's a humble beginning and till end they remained humble. When we humble ourselves before the Lord, He will lift us up. You do not have to strive, but when we come to God in humbleness and surrender everything to His care, then we shall witness His great and mighty works.
He who kneels before the Lord, can stabd before anyone, even his enemies will be put to shame looking at the wonderful works that the Lord is doing through them. In today's verse, we read that how God brought down high to low, and lifted up the low to high. If you want to do greater things in God and ministry, it begins with humbleness realizing that we do not own any talents or giftings if God had not give it to us. You may try all your might to achieve greater things, but there's no God in the picture then it's all in vain. And God says, " And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the Lord , have brought down the high tree and exalted the low tree, dried up the green tree and made the dry tree flourish; I, the Lord , have spoken and have done it." Amen! God is able to do great and mighty things when we humble ourselves and surrender everything to God and allow Him to be in control of everything we about to do. If you do anything with pride, you are just preparing for your fall. God bless you...
Let this day be the day of the Lord!
