Isaiah 66:2 For all those things My hand has made, And all those things exist,” Says the Lord. “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.
God is our Creator. All things exist because He made them so. There is nothing we can see which God has not had a hand in making!
What or who did God lift up and glorify? His one and only Son, Jesus Christ!
If we are willing to accept these truths and follow Christ in His humble ways toward God, then we can expect God to look favourably upon us; not because we are anything like Christ, but because Christ is putting us forward to God!
