Need A Lift?

Now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me.

Psalm 27:6

Have you ever seen people with so much trouble that their heads are down? Have you felt that way? You face a confrontation and it goes wrong. You walk away from there with your head down. Very graphic, isn’t it? The Bible says that when you face trouble and you worship, that worship becomes the lifter of your head. You could walk into church with the burdens of the world on you, and when you get caught up in the worship of the Lord, it’s almost like God just lifts your head right up.

Worship makes God big in your heart. Is God big? Yes. He can’t get any bigger than He is. I mean, God is God. But worship magnifies God; it puts awareness of who God is into your heart so you begin to sense and appreciate the greatness of Almighty God. When you see His greatness and you put your trouble in that picture, everything changes. When you measure your trouble against others, you might be depressed, but when you measure your trouble against the greatness and magnificence of God, that’s encouraging. No wonder your head gets lifted!
