LIFTED
Today's reading: Ezekiel 11-12, Hebrews 4:4-5:10, Proverbs 17:6-12

"Then the Spirit lifted me up..." Ezekiel 11:1 NLT

Ever experienced a 'spiritual pick-me-up'?

A moment when all seemed dark and gray, but the sun broke through and the birds once again began singing?

A time when the storms raged, the boat rocked on the waves and the water splashed onto the deck in greater quantities than your little bucket could bail, but then it all stilled?

A season of testing and turmoil that brought you a harvest of peace?

That, dear friend, was when the Spirit lifted you up.

The Spirit picked up your weary soul and gave it the respite needed.

The  Spirit lifted the heavy weight off your shoulders--and your heart.

The Spirit, maybe just maybe, changed circumstances, but most definitely changed your heart about them.

The Spirit send a much needed friend with much more needed words.

The Spirit provided a light for the next step.

The Spirit soothed a festering sore on your soul.

I'm praying that today the Spirit lifts you up. In some way. In an area where it's needed the most. In a manner that points your face towards God in praise.
