“Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” (Matthew 23:12)
To exalt is to praise and lift up. On Sunday, many of us attend church to worship and praise Him. We sing, we pray, we listen to sermons, and we serve. These are all great and God loves all of these things and He loves to see the church gather in his name.
Now, what do we do the other six days of the week? Who do we exalt or praise?
I know, for me, it is very easy to get into a routine during the week. I wake up, I work, I eat, and I sleep. I am a father, a husband and a man of the routine. When I reflect on this verse, I realize I often leave God out. I know He is there, but I forget to exalt Him for all I have, mostly the simple things. Oh, I praise and exalt Him for the big stuff that can only be a God thing, but miss the chance to humble myself and exalt Him in all things.
Praising and worshiping God is not just for Sundays. Exalt Him in all things every day.
I love you church!
Have a great weekend!
