3/03/08 LIFT UP YOUR HEAD

Psalm 27:6
And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord!

Worship has been called a sacrifice of praise! What an appropriate way to say it - We praise God not because our circumstances are ideal or that the we don't ever need for anything -we praise God because He is good - in this world you will have trouble Jesus warned His followers - and I don't know anyone right now that does not have some sort of trouble - the enemy is restless and he will do what he can to mess up our lives and kill our witness for Christ- the enemy of our souls has been called a lurking lion seeking whom he may devour -he will destroy everything in his path - and enjoy harming our relationship with Christ- but there is good news -what satan means for evil - God meant for good - God can use any and every circumstance for His glory! Sometimes we cannot see if for all the evil around us - but we must lift up our head - we must not allow the enemy or circumstances cause us to be downcast -we must keep our focus on Christ- no matter what things look like down here - He is in control and He has a plan - you can be assured of that!lets not allow the enemy to come in and steal our joy - but instead lets life up our heads to heaven because that is where our help will come from -its not here - its up there -its God Himself seated on the throne that matters- focus on Christ not your circumstances! Lift up your head!

a side note: In every bad situation -God has a good plan in mind!
In CHRIST we are no longer downcast!
