And the promise that's revealed in the scriptures is that God lifts up the humble. I mean, he exalts the humble.

And what happens is if you can just suspend your own disbelief long enough to let those words wash over you, what you find is that God is in the process of lifting you up to be where he is and to draw you in closer to himself, which is, I mean, that's the treasure.

So for anybody who's listening, I'm just over here with big pom-poms cheering you on because God is wanting to bless. He's wanting to give you more of himself. And it's just such an amazing and wonderful journey.

When you bump into something that makes you feel like you can't trust God because of something you read in the Scripture, like something just sits sideways, you get twisted up in your soul after something that you read, the thing that I've encouraged folks to do is to go back to Exodus 34, verse 6 through 8, And remember what God's eternal name that he revealed to Moses is.
