BY PASTOR ROBERT JEWETT

One of the most common ways that man is deceived is through self-exaltation. We are taught at a very young age to believe that we are somebody special. The enemy is very crafty in getting the world to believe that they are the center of the universe and that there is no need for God. Satan’s cunning tactics deceive us to believe that everything is all about us.

In reality, we are nothing when compared to God. God is all-knowing (omniscient); we are not. God is almighty (omnipotent); we are not. God is present everywhere at the same time (omnipresent); we are not. When we understand the magnitude of how great God is, we will agree with David, “Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth,” (Psalm 57:5).

We must acknowledge that the Lord is the only one worthy to be exalted over all the earth. If we focus on the splendor of the Lord, we will be humbled to see how we do not even come close to comparing to him. Instead of exalting ourselves, we will be humbled by his majesty and will exalt him above the heavens!
