Humbled to go Higher

Many of us in church or christian circles, have heard people say or be prompted them selves to say " I am the head and not the tail I am above only and not beneath"
Whether in good times or bad they/we confess this about themselves and their situation.  I too have on occasion done this; but the Lord lead me to go back and read in Deuteronomy where our confession is based, the REAL scripture. As a friend of mine would say  "get your eyes on it"
Deuteronomy 28:13 says:
And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God...

What I had missed before was that it says The Lord will make you, not just confessing, I am the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath- Its not ME saying continually I am the head an not the tail, NO its the Lord- Not you, not me, confessing, Doing, being "religious".  NO it is the Lord who will make you the head, and above only, in all situations!

We do have a  part and that is to obey the leading's of the Lord and do what He asks of us- it may well be confess something so our mind becomes renewed by saying out loud the "right" things,  it may be doing something, or NOT doing something, or it just might be that with our daily step of quite time with Him, in His Word, He infuses us with a knowing and when we act on that Heavenly Wisdom, that is what brings us up.

It is not by our works or good deeds that will elevate us above others or our situations- quite the contrary; We are to humble ourselves before the Lord, and He will lift us up, He will guide, BUT the choice is ours to follow His leading and His promptings.

When we do choose His ways we will descend even Higher- We shall be Above only!
