One of the great names of our God is "the lifter up of mine head." What a glorious thing! (Why art thou cast down oh my soul?) Even the everlasting gates lift up their heads! The Christian may slumber, but he or she must not slouch or skulk about. Precisely because we remain humble before our Maker and Friend, we go out into the world with our shoulders back and our heads held high. In the face of all that is dismal and diabolical and destructive, we hold our heads high. We "lift up our eyes unto the hills..." Every true child of the Most High God must learn in the heart of hearts the difference between the worlds contrived "self-esteem" (read self worship) and the devout person's self-respect. Whatever your situation today, the LORD says to you, "Look unto me all ye ends of the earth, and be saved." It is in this constant and defiant act of looking unto the LORD that our heads our lifted up by him.
