Everyone, at sometime in their life, will fall. But, even then, there is a lifting up. In that time, when you are cast down, there is a lifting up. God is still in the lifting business.

If you're in trouble today, call on the name of the Lord. If you're friends are in trouble today, call on the name of the Lord. Life is more pleasant when you have something to look forward to.

There are times when the world will twist us and beat us down so that we don't even want to look up. But, Jesus can touch us and lift us up. No matter what is twisting us or beating us down, God wants to lift us up. You, Oh Lord, are the lifter of my head. Since Jesus was lifted upon that cross, it allowed us to be lifted up for eternity.

God chooses the weak things and lifts up the lowly. He gives His love to the lost. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up.

The hand of the Lord is still here to lift us up today. It's a powerful and strong arm of the Lord. When you trust the hand of the Lord and not the hand of man, you can experience the uplifted face of reconsiliation. He wants us to uplift our hands and our voices to Him.
