He Will Set You High Above All Nations

           He will set you high above all nations which He has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people to the Lord your God, just as He has spoken - Deuteronomy 26:19. 

God will set you high above all nations - Be humble 

            Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up - James 4:10. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted - Luke 14:11. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble - Luke 1:52. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time - 1 Peter 5:6.

God will set you high above all nations - Obey God & follow His commands

                  If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth - Deuteronomy 28:1. The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom - Deuteronomy 28:13.

Daniel set high above others

                   Daniel did not change his habit of praying even when the law changed. Instead he humbled himself before God, obeyed and followed His commands and prayed three times a day. So, God set Daniel high above others. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days - Daniel 6:10. Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm - Daniel 6:3.                                  

                   Let us thank God for setting us high above all nations. But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head - Psalm 3:3. He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me - Psalm 18:48. Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord - Psalm 27:6. Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name - Psalm 91:14. I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my enemies rejoice over me - Psalm 30:1.

                                                                    

PRAYER: Dear Lord,  Let us be humble, obey and follow Your commands. We thank You for setting us high above all nations. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
