“O Lord, you have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear.” (Psalm 10:17, NASB)
“We have little control over the circumstances of life. We can’t control the weather or the economy, and we can’t control what other people say about us or do to us. There is only one are where we have control – we can rule the kingdom inside. The heart of every problem is the problem in the heart …
David prayed in verse 12, “Arise, O Lord! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble.” The word humble is a key word. What is humility? Is it thinking poorly of ourselves? No, humility is simply not thinking of ourselves at all. Humility means admitting that I cannot handle my problem by myself. God is going to have to handle it by working in me and through me and for me. But before God can work for me or through me, He has to work in me.
If you want to get on top of your circumstances, get beneath the feet of the Lord. Humble yourself, and He’ll lift you up.”
