LIFT MY HEAD
Jeremiah 52:31-34

God alone is the lifter of our heads. It does not matter how long the head has been down in captivity because God in His goodness and mercy will remember and not forget to lift the head that He has purposed to lift. God can and will use anyone or anything to move in lifting up the head that is down. Jehoiachin had been in captivity for thirty-seven years when God raised and brought to place the one who would lift up his head. Jeremiah 52:31, “Now it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, that Evil-Merodachking of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison.”Of all the men and women on the face of the earth, God used Evil-Merodach, the king of Babylon and son of Nebuchadnezzar, to lift up the head of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, from captivity. Never lose hope or take your eyes away from God because He will remember you. God will use anyone, including your persecutors, to lift your head up from whatever has been keeping your head down. “Lifting up of head” is a Hebrew phrase expressing the kindness and goodwill that Evil-Merodach showed toward Jehoiachin. When God remembers, He also rescues. Having used Evil-Merodach to rescue Jehoiachin, God also made him to change the garment of Jehoiachin from that of a prisoner to that of one who eats regularly before the king all the days of his life. God does not operate halfway nor does He engage Himself in a half job of deliverance. If what you are experiencing in your situation is not full and complete deliverance yet, He might still be working on your situation in His own time. Do not stop; do not give up in your prayer. God is a prayer-answering God. Know this, note it and stay in the fact and understanding that He will do it for you just like it was done in the life of so many who did not quit in looking up unto Him. King David wrote in Psalm 3:1-3, “Lord, how they have increased who troubled me! Many are they who rise up against me. Many are they who say of me, ’There is no help for him in God.’ But you O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.” God alone is Jehovah Sharma and He will live to answer His Name. Ask Him, pray it, meditate it and He will remember, rescue and redeem you in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Ask God to send forth His agent that will come and lift up your head from everywhere you have been grounded.
