“The humble shall see this, and be glad: And your heart shall live that seek God.”
Psalm 69:32 KJV
A heart that is alive thrills at the unknown. A heart that is alive craves to pump its life source throughout every crevice of its being. Those who seek for God are not content with just the rhythmic beat of every other man. It wants to thump against the chest wall to express the life that lives in it. When one seeks God it stirs up something on the inside of them. It stirs a wanting of more. Kind of like a first love. We seek to be near that person or to simply hear their voice. When contact is made it makes the heart beat a little faster and we feel alive. God promises those that look for Him with that same passion our hearts shall live. Our hearts will tell a story all its own about the love that dwells in it for the one we seek. There is an important lesson here and in other places of God’s Word, namely that humility and gladness go together. What do the humble and the joyous have in common? They both look up. The humble are those who don’t look down on anyone. The truly humble look up all the time. They have to look up, because their eyes are on God, and He’s above them. The joyous are always looking up as well, otherwise they wouldn’t be rejoicing. The joyous are believing the Good News, so they rejoice. The prideful, however, are those who think they’re above everything else and so they look down on people. The prideful are connected to the others who look down, the cynical, the doubting, the despairing, the depressed, the sorrowful and the hopeless. In the same way that the humble and the joyous go together, so do pride and despair. Humility leads to joy. Pride leads to despair. Let’s get our eyes off ourselves, off of our problems, off of the world around us. Let’s fix our eyes on Him, the Redeemer of our souls. Those who look up in humility, also look up in joy. Together, let’s fix our eyes on Him and be glad!!!
