Psalm 113:5-9
Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high, (6) who looks far down on the heavens and the earth? He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people. He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the LORD!
Lord , You come to me in my weaknesses not in my strengths. It is where I am poor and needy, not those areas where I think I am self-sufficient. It is where I know I am poor and needy. So Lord, reveal my weaknesses, show me that my self-named strengths are but broken reeds in Your Kingdom and of no value in the advancement of the Kingdom. Lift me up, Lord, in Your love and graciousness, bring me into Your presence.
