9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
Isaiah 40:9
"Many saints are content to live like men in coal mines, who do not see the sun; they eat dust like the serpent when they might taste the food of angels; they are content to wear the miner's garb when they might put on king's robes; tears disfigure their faces when they might anoint them with celestial oil. I am convinced that many a believer pines in a dungeon when he might walk on the palace roof and view the goodly land. Rouse yourself, believer, from your low condition! Discard your laziness, your lethargy, your coldness, or whatever interferes with your sincere and pure love for Christ, your soul's Husband. Make Him the source, the center, and the circumference of your soul's whole range of delight."
Read Nearer to God, by Alistair Begg
The season is upon us. Time to lift our heads, raise ourselves out of the pit, as He wishes it! It is time to give great glory to the Lord! Georg Friedrich Händel can help if you are in need of a little inspiration. "Lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, and be not afraid." "The Glory of the Lord is risen upon thee."
Georg Friedrich Händel, 1685 – 1759
