On Your Knees

The best place to start the year is on your knees. If you do so, the only way from there is up. Sometimes we get tired of being on our knees. It is a fairly uncomfortable position. But that is okay. While it is important to start on your knees, you are not meant to stay there.
         Exaltation is always after humiliation. Those who humble themselves before our Holy God will also be raised in Him and by Him.
        The Lord Jesus humbled Himself and the Father has highly exalted Him. If we humble ourselves, then the Lord, who is quick to forgive, will grant us His full and free forgiveness. Then He bids us arise and hear His commands to us as we live out our lives before Him as His own dear children, His noble warriors, His shepherds, and the very hands and feet of Christ to the world.

         The starting place is on your knees but the ending place is at the right hand of the Father in power and glory. So, let us remember to start out right.
