This won makes me laugh out loud a little bit, even just looking at it. My heart says “Or who the hell else will do it!”
We (humans) love a winner. We love strength, intelligence, wit, sensuality, talent, beauty. We love moments when WE are seen that way.
But when we are laid low. When our strength is failing or our dreams are dashed, when our intelligence is fading and our beauty marred we do not EXALT (place high, show off) we slink back into our cave, lick our wounds and hide.
But our Bible, our Story, our God does not tell that story. It’s apex, it’s victory is the brutal murder of God hung high. It’s proceeded by the a litany of stories where things are going horribly wrong and God keeps flinging people into the limelight: Abraham, Moses, Joseph, David, Ester, Naomi. And if you think the cross was the end... oh no no... Paul, Peter, Luke, John.
God is ABOUT EXALTING THE HUMBLE.
