Are you downcast today? There's no need to stay discouraged any longer. Your God is waiting to lift you up. David confessed, "But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter up of mine head" (Psalm 3.3). Don't forget, your confession will determine your attitude.

The word "lifter" in the Hebrew is "ruwm" and means "to be high, exalted, the state of being on a higher place, or movement in an upward direction." God's intention for you is not to be downcast, discouraged, disheartened, dejected, depressed, dispirited, dismayed, disconsolate, and down in the dumps! Help! It's time to come UP!

God's intention for you is to live on a higher plane--a plane where you trust in His unfailing love, a plane where you know beyond all shadow of doubt that God is bigger than your problem, a plane where you look at your afflictions in the light of eternity, and a plane where you rejoice in the Lord even when you can't rejoice in what is happening.

God is waiting to lift you up to this plane. Look up to Him today.

My heart has no desire to stay,
Where doubts arise and fears dismay.
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith on Heaven's table land.
A higher plain than I have found:
Lord, plant me feet on higher ground.
