Dust to...HEIRS??!!

What beautiful promises we find in the scripture!!!!!!!I have been so busy (and trying my best not to let a Sinus infection get the best of me!) but look at what I've run across this morning~ 1 Samuel 2:7-9 "The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them. He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail." I am so thankful to know that the occurances in life are never just 'fate' or 'happenstance'. I am thankful that if I am to be poor or rich, low or lifted up, that My God is in the midst of it all. He'll pick us up, in our poor state and by putting our faith and total devotion in HIM, He will lift us out of our dust, setting us among princes and in-line to inherit the throne of Glory. I am so so so very thankful that in my sin, he looked past my filth, my dirt, and lifted me up to sit among HIS chosen people, HIS bloodline - and made me an heir to His throne. WE ARE THE PILLARS of the earth, and we are the LORD'S!!!! I am so thankful that my God keeps the feet of the saints, he keeps our feet from slipping, when we are tied tight with Righteousness to the stakes of Judgement - no room for compromise, holding tight in line with fellow pillars - and no matter what strength of man may come, they SHALL NOT prevail~ Thank you Lord, for keeping us, for setting us up as pillars, for putting us amongst princes and sharing your name with us so that we may be heirs to your throne. Share the name of Jesus with someone today, so that they too may be lifter up out of their dust - out of the dunghill of sin, and placed among the princes - to become an heir to the throne. As Always, ~*Pam*~
