The LORD is exalted over all the nations,
    his glory above the heavens.
Who is like the LORD our God,
    the One who sits enthroned on high,
who stoops down to look
    on the heavens and the earth?

He raises the poor from the dust
    and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
He settles the childless woman in her home
    as a happy mother of children.

Praise the LORD.

(Psalm 113:4-9, NIV)

But HOW does He raise them from the dust to sit with princes?

Here is a hint: The church is called the Body of Christ.

The body carries out what the mind directs.

It is not about “hand outs” but about “a hand up”. You cannot gift someone from poverty to princehood!

  Excellent point, Rick. I needed that reminder. This statement is worth repeating: You cannot gift someone from poverty to princehood!

He Raises the Poor from the Dust

I will praise Him!

The LORD is exalted over all the nations,
    his glory above the heavens.
Who is like the LORD our God,
    the One who sits enthroned on high,
who stoops down to look
    on the heavens and the earth?

He raises the poor from the dust
    and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
He settles the childless woman in her home
    as a happy mother of children.

Praise the LORD.

(Psalm 113:4-9, NIV)
