“Who is like the Lord our God, who is enthroned on high, who humbles
Himself to behold the things that are in heaven and in the earth?” (Psalm
113:5-6)

God, the Creator of all things,
has humbled Himself to walk among us as one of us. It is an amazing and almost
incomprehensible truth that many deny. God has walked with us and continues to
walk with us. This is the foundation of understanding who our Savior is. The
One to whom all honor is due is also the One who saves us. All that is belongs
to Him, for He made it.

Lord, help me to comprehend the simple but profound fact that You have
walked with us and continue to do so. You love that which You have created and
have invited us into Your presence forever. Lead me away from the scoffers that
I may be among those who know that it is You who has called from eternity for
us to join You in an eternal life of love and praise.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, my Lord
and my God. Guide me according to the goodness You have brought that I may walk
in the grace You provide. Lead me away from the wickedness of this world and
into the goodness You offer in faith. May I know that I am walking with You and
abiding in Your goodness and mercy all the days of my life. Cause Your light to
shine in me. Amen.

“From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the Lord is to
be praised. The Lord is high above all nations; His glory is above the
heavens.” (Psalm 113:3-4)

The One through whom all things
have their being is worthy of being honored for all that He created. He created
you and you are a part of His creation. Should not the One above have more
honor than the one who is created? Learn to praise the Lord in all
circumstances knowing that He who made you holds you in the palm of His hand. Praise
the Lord, you, His saints.

Lord, there are times when I do not feel like praising You. Like a
spoiled child, I do not think in terms of right or wrong, but according to how
I feel. Lead me, O Lord, to come to You and praise You in every circumstance. Guide
me that I may walk according to Your will, doing all that is pleasing in Your
sight. Your glory alone is above all things, for You are the Sovereign One.

Holy Spirit, keep my feelings in
check this day that I may abide in the truth of Your presence. Lead me
according to Your goodness to see things as You see them. Help me now and
always to do what is right in the Father’s sight and to abide in Jesus as He
has commanded. May I walk humbly with You leading this day, giving thanks and
praise for all of Your goodness. Amen.

“Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of
the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forever.” (Psalm
113:1-2)

The Lord has worked. Six days
and He made what we call the creation. He has come and walked among us to grant
the way of salvation. Blessed is the Lord and worthy of all praise and honor. You
are called to be one of His servants. Remember that He whom you serve first
served you. He is not like those in this world who demand you being demeaned,
but lifts you up to Himself.

Lord, Let me read more clearly Your Word that I would see that You are
not like other sovereigns, but have walked humbly with us all the days of Your
life. Yet You are King of kings and worthy of all honor and praise. Guide me, O
Lord, in the way You have established that I may be guided in Your goodness,
grace, and mercy. Lead me always to give You praise and honor.

Lord Jesus, God in the flesh, You
have come humbly as one of us and walked this world. You know our weaknesses
better than we ourselves. Guide me, O Lord, in the way of truth that I may
learn to also walk humbly knowing that all praise and honor are due You. Lift
me up this day to do what is right in Your sight, praising You in every
circumstance, knowing that it is You who lifts us up. Amen.
