120 Biblical Promises on Exaltation

Think about this: everything has its season. Only God can truly lift you up. It's not our place to toot our own horn, you know? That's God's job, the Creator of everything. It's like 2 Corinthians 10:17¹⁷ says, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."

Bragging and being arrogant just pushes God's spirit away. It goes against everything the Holy Spirit stands for. He gives grace to the humble, not to those who think they're all that. If you want to be lifted up, you've gotta humble yourself before God first. He sees your heart. If what's inside is real and good, then He'll take care of the rest. He'll lift you up in His time.

God's looking for genuine hearts, people who acknowledge Him in everything and can't imagine life without Him. Don't get caught up in boasting about what you do. What really matters is that Jesus knows you and that your actions are genuine before Him.

Watch out for pride. Be open to God's correction. Remember what Matthew 23:12 says: "Whoever exalts themselves will be humbled, and whoever humbles themselves will be exalted." Take care of your inner self, nurture it in quiet time with God. Those secret prayers? They'll be answered publicly.

God wants us to be close to Him, to really know Him. He's not looking for showboats or people chasing clout, but for those who seek His presence. It's that small group, the faithful remnant who stay close to the Lord, that He will lift up when the time is right.

But this is what we do see: Yehoshua, for a short time having been “made lower than the angels,” has, because of the yissurim (suffering) of mavet (death), been “crowned with KAVOD V'HADAR” (glory and splendor) in order that by the Chen v'Chesed Hashem on behalf of all he might taste the histalkus of mavet.
