Heads held high

Leviticus 26:12-13

​I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high

 

“I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love; I lifted the yoke from their neck and bent down to feed them” [Hosea 11:4]

​Lord, how often my head drops when adversity strikes

and how often I need to be reminded of times past

when you lifted me up.

Enable me again,

right here, right now,

to walk with my head held high,

knowing that I am not walking alone;

for you are among us

and together we are your people

and you are our God.
