Meditation

Appropriating a glorious inheritance is no easy calling for a people characterized by low self-esteem. How can one overcome his self-imposed beliefs that “something must go wrong” or “I’m unworthy to be exalted over another!” Of course, on one is worthy to be exalted! …Why not boast that God exalts those who follow Him and glory in His righteousness (Psalm 89:16-17)?
