Though the Lord is exalted, He looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, He sees them from afar. – (Psalm 138:6, NIV)
The Lord has the highest place above all others, but He still cares for the humble. Even from there, so high above, He knows what the proud do. – (Psalm 138:6, ERV)
Although He is greatest of all, He is attentive to the needy and keeps His distance from the proud and pompous. – (Psalm 138:6, VOICE)
God is high and lifted up, yet He cares for us beyond what we could ever hope or imagine. When we pause to recognize that He is the Creator of all, it reminds us that we are nothing without Him. However, when people choose to be proud, He leaves them to their own devices. We must acknowledge our need for God, for it is in humility that we recognize the greatness of who He is and how He loves us all. May we ever love the Lord with all that we are, and seek Him to show us how to care for others as He does.
With grace and mercy,
the Lord God above;
cares for the seeking,
and floods us with love.
The Lord’s love provides,
all that we might need;
help, hope, and kindness,
as we let Him lead.
Lead us, Lord Jesus,
to walk in Your way;
in all that we do,
and all that we say.
Help us come humbly,
for all comes from You;
our Savior and King,
the Light and the Truth.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that as we seek You, You meet us and care for us. Thank You that You show us what is good when we ask You. Forgive us for the times that we have lacked humility or have become proud when all credit goes to You. Show us how to walk in the goodness of Your grace with gratitude for who You are and how You love. Lead us to love and care for those around us as You do. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we praise You for who You are and ever seek You to lead us in all things. Amen,
