I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
Lifter up?
Yeah. Like this:
“But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head” (Psalm 3:3).
For when I’m under attack.
For when I have failed in my pride.
For when I’m cast down and humiliated.
My shield, my glory, my lifter.
Just what I need; exactly what I need!

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He came!
“And the light shineth in darkness” (John 1:5).
“He was in the world” (John 1:10).
“He came” (John 1:11).
“But as many as received him” (John 1:12).
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
He came…to turn my darkness to light.
He came…enlighten me.
He came…that I might know Him.
He came…so I could receive Him.
He came…to give me the option of becoming a child of God.
He came…to show me His glory.
He came…to live among people such as I am.
He came…full of grace and truth…for me.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming!
