Lord, help us not to get too big for our boots.

Lord, help us not to get too big for our boots.

Sometimes, we get down in the dumps. When this happens, we need to get lifted up – by You!

Sometimes, we have a very different problem. We get too big for our boots – and we need to be brought back down to earth!

Brought down with a bump: How often this has happened to us – and it was just what we needed!

Bringing us down – We thank You, Lord, that this is only the beginning of Your work in us.

You never bring us down – to leave us there. You bring us down to build us up again!

Building us up – That’s what You do for us.

We’re broken down – and You put us together again!

Lord, this is so encouraging.

When we forget You, You never forget us.

When we feel like giving up, You say to us, “I haven’t finished with you yet. I’ll never be finished with You: What I have planned for you is nothing less than this – eternal life.”
