Today’s New Covenant nugget is from James 4:10
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
The Greek word translated as ‘humble’ is ‘tapeinóo’, to bow down low. As we bow down in worship, the Lord lifts us in the sight of men. Worshipping the Lord leads to promotion and honor among men.
David worshipped the Lord as a teenager and the Lord promoted him and exalted him as king over all Israel. As you worship the Lord, you give Him your heart, and when He has your heart, He uses you in great ways… it says in 2 Chronicles 16:9 that the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is completely His.
Take time today and every day to worship the Lord and as you do, He will lift you up and use you in great ways… He will promote you in the sight of men and raise you up as His hand extended to do mighty works in His name!
Blessings on you, Nick
