Job 22:29(KJV)
When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
Our anchor Scripture communicates the fact that God makes exception and distinguishes His people in the midst of terrible situations of the world. We may be living in the same world, but it is not true that our experiences are the same. In other words, the children of God are not permitted to experience the calamity or affliction the rest of the world is facing. The Scripture says when men are saying there is a casting down; the believer shall be saying there is a lifting up. God is giving us a word of assurance that in-spite of the onslaughts of the adversary there is a lifting for His people. The truth is, God has already programmed our lives to be different. We are born of God and His very life is in us. We are born to be different from the world.
The desire of God for His children is for them to experience lifting and provision in all ramifications no matter the situation of the world. For the children of God, it does not matter how terrible it gets for the people of the world, our connection to God makes our case different. Association with God deliver us from every disaster or tragedy organized by the enemy. When God wanted to destroy the earth in the days of Noah, Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. Because he was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God(Genesis 6:7-9). So, when the flood was sinking other people, Noah and his family were sailing on that same flood because Noah was connected to God. As long as we remain faithful to keep and defend the interests of God, we shall never be cut off in any circumstance we find ourselves in. While others are living in hardship, we shall be living in abundance.
Beloved, for your case to be different, be determine to have a total stand with God, never have one leg in church and another in the world. Be completely sold out to the Lord! If God is your Father, let Him be your Father indeed! Trust Him for His Word concerning your life because He has a perfect and glorious plan for you. As a believer, you are already lifted up, you are too blessed to be cast down! Always believe and confess that your case is different. What is destroying others will not destroy you. There’s no disadvantage for you as a child of God, therefore know who you are in Christ for you’ve been divinely positioned for greatness. In this season, you are immune from the negative climate of the world in Jesus’ Name. Remember, the humble shall be lifted up and live in safety.
O Lord, thank You for Your Word, I declare that my case is different, and there is a lifting for me in Jesus’ Name.
