High and Lifted Up
A Moment Isn’t A Destiny
Things aren’t always what they seem. And just because things appear one way in a moment of time, it doesn’t mean they’ll stay that way. Case in point: Jesus. If we’d been in Jerusalem when Jesus was hanging on the cross we might have concluded, “Jesus failed.” However, what appeared to be Jesus’s lowest moment was in fact God’s highest plan being accomplished. Three days after Jesus’s death on the cross, God raised Him. So the moment was really, “God’s plan succeeded. Jesus accomplished His mission.” Isaiah 52:13 prophesied, “Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be HIGH and LIFTED UP and greatly exalted.” Jesus is seated at the right hand of God – HIGH AND LIFTED UP – greatly exalted. The next time you feel like a failure and that God’s plan isn’t working, remember Christ on the cross. A moment doesn’t define you. It may be a step forward. Look up and pray in faith. Ask your Heavenly Father, who can move mountains and bring success out of defeat, to work positive changes in your circumstances. Walk by the promptings of His Spirit.
NOTE to Moms: (Or anyone who has a mom or loves a mom.) Hey Mom, we can sometimes (or often) feel like a failure. God knows how many times we fail and cry out to Him for forgiveness, strength, “overs,” wisdom, protection for our children, and that they will come to know Him as Savior and Lord. If you can relate, I encourage you to get my book, “The Plan A Mom in a Plan B World.” (A different book from The Plan A WOMAN in a Plan B World) I had mom friends of all ages/stages share personal stories that will encourage you and provide practical/spiritual tips. The discussion questions at the end of each chapter make it a great resource for mom groups, also. $7.49 Mother’s Day special.
We praise You, Lord Jesus, HIGH, and LIFTED UP, greatly exalted. We can’t wait to see You face to face!

Three days after Jesus’s death on the cross, God raised Him. So the moment was really: “God’s plan succeeded. Jesus won.” Isaiah 52:13 prophesied, “Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be HIGH and LIFTED UP and greatly exalted.” Jesus is seated at the right hand of God – HIGH AND LIFTED UP – greatly exalted. The next time you feel like a failure and that God’s plan isn’t working, remember Christ. A moment doesn’t define you or your destiny. Look up and pray in faith and trust to your Heavenly Father who can move mountains and bring success out of defeat and positive changes in your circumstances.
We praise You, Lord Jesus, HIGH, and LIFTED UP; greatly exalted.
When You’ve Failed and Are Low

As Isaiah 52:13 prophesied, “Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be HIGH and LIFTED UP and greatly exalted.” Jesus is seated at the right hand of God – HIGH AND LIFTED UP – greatly exalted.

Praise to Jesus, HIGH and LIFTED UP
“Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be HIGH and LIFTED UP and greatly exalted.”
Things aren’t always what they seem. And, simply because things appear one way in a moment of time, it doesn’t mean they’ll remain that way. Case in point: Jesus. If we’d been in Jerusalem when Jesus was hanging on the cross, we might have labeled the moment, “Jesus failed.” However, what appeared to be Jesus’s lowest moment, was in fact, God’s highest plan being accomplished. Three days after Jesus’s death on the cross, God raised Him. Jesus is seated at the right hand of God – HIGH AND LIFTED UP and greatly exalted. The next time something appears to be a failure or loss, stay close to God. He and Jesus are HIGH and LIFTED UP and greatly exalted. Nothing is slipping by them.
We praise You, Lord Jesus, HIGH and LIFTED UP and greatly exalted.
HIGH and LIFTED UP
“Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.”
Isaiah 52:13
Things aren’t always what they seem. And, simply because things appear one way in a moment of time, it doesn’t mean they’ll always remain that way. Case in point: Jesus. If we had been in Jerusalem when Jesus was hanging on the cross, we might have labeled the moment, “Jesus failed – at His lowest point and down and out.” However, a moment in time does not define the time nor does it define a person. Case in point: Jesus. He prospered. Three days after His death, God raised Him. Jesus is seated at the right hand of God – high and lifted up and greatly exalted. The next time you feel down and out, remember, the moment is not defining you. Rather, your relationship with Jesus is the deciding factor and the one that tells the story of your life.
I praise You, Lord Jesus, HIGH and LIFTED UP!
