He raises the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap – Psalm 113:7
God is in the positive life change business. He does not do this through effort-based behavior modification but through spiritual rebirth and growth. As the Psalmist says – He changes the life of the poor and needy so that they sit amongst princes (Psalm 113:8). It’s not a question of if God can change our life situation, it is a question of whether we will allow Him to do it. The key is for us to be poor in spirit. When we are poor in spirit (humble), it opens the door for the Holy Spirit to do His work in us, through us, and for us. Everything that the Holy Spirit does is good and carries the touch of heaven. As Jesus said, blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:3). It is never too late for us to change our life situation. We just need to submit ourselves under the mighty hand of God so that He may lift us up in due time. It is not you that will do it in your own strength; it is He who does it for you through your humility to His will.
I don’t have to continue living my life the way I am. God will change my life when I submit to Him
