Principle: The joy of our hope, O God, is that you
magnify your greatness by lifting up the low, and putting down the proud.
“Who
but me can say to a king, ‘Worthless one,’ and to nobles, ‘Wicked man’? I show
no partiality to princes, nor regard the rich more than the poor, for they are
all the work of my hands.” (Job 34:18–19)
“I
shatter the mighty without investigation and set others in their place.” (Job 34:24)
“I
look on everyone who is proud and bring him low and tread down the wicked where
they stand.” (Job 40:12)
“I
the LORD kill and bring to life; I bring down to Sheol and raise up. I make
poor and make rich; I bring low and I exalt.” (1 Samuel
2:6–7)
“I
have scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; I have brought down
the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate.” (Luke 1:51–52)
