Lifter of our heads

"But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head." (Psalm 3:3)

This verse has been a real encouragement to me. God is the lifter of our heads. No matter how many times I fell flat on my face, how many times I felt that I have let others down or I think that I have let God down, He reminds us that He is the lifter of my head.

Once again, I can lift up my countenance before the King of Kings and be completely lost in glory of His face.

He wants us to look up and to look inside of us instead being bogged down by what's around us. He wants us to have faith in Him. He wants us to know who we truly are. We are not weak, instead we are strong in Christ. He wants us to believe what is beyond our imaginations, to pray big prayers, to pray for the impossibles. For He lift up our head to the Heaven, to remember where all authority that has been given Him has now been given to us!

There is no time for self-pity, self-condemnation but it is the time of now faith.

We are meant for bigger things than we could ever imagined. Am I being big-headed? Well, I have someone too big in me to live a small life. It's time for me to stop thinking what God needs to do but it's time for God to move through me. No longer will I be wishing and hoping but it is now time to act in faith, to move in love and in authority to extend His love and His kingdom to wherever I go.

His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 3:10)

That is what happens when He lifts up our heads. He enables our eyes to see into the heavenlies, to bring down what we see and heard into the now. Heaven is no longer in the future, it is the now reality. We got to realise that we are the ones that has been called and chosen, sent out by the King of heaven to continue all that Christ has already accomplished.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people to be his very own and to proclaim the wonderful deeds of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

(1 Peter 2:9)

Let the light do what it is created to do, to illuminate the world, not hiding under a bowl.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."(Matthew 5:14)
