![]() Twice in the book of Acts we are told that God the Father has exalted Jesus “at his right hand” (Acts 2:33 and 5:31). Jesus says, in Luke 18:14, “Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” And both James and Peter say, “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you” (James 4:10 see also 1 Peter 5:6).īut the most important thing the New Testament has to say about “exalting” is not about God exalting us, but about God exalting Jesus - and this greatly informs and fuels our exalting of God the Father and His Son. It is pretty amazing that Jesus himself, and his apostles, give us promises about God exalting us. This is not to say that God doesn’t exalt us. That we would have a heart like John the Baptist’s, to say about Jesus, “He must increase, I must decrease” (John 3:30). It takes a miracle of the Holy Spirit for God to take a self-exalting heart, like ours, and turn it into a heart that would genuinely want to exalt God. In our sin nature, we are inclined to exalt ourselves, not God. And it’s also worth noting that this is not something we do naturally. It’s worth noting that God’s purpose for us is not that we exalt him as isolated individuals, but that we exalt him together. ” When we sing, “We exalt thee,” we’re not only saying, “We glorify thee,” but also, “We worship thee.” And “thee” is just an old way of saying “you” - and especially in the context of a worship song like this it can signal the kind of respect we have for God, not as one of our peers, but as our creator, as one who is infinitely valuable and infinitely worthy of our praise. To him be glory forever” (Romans 11:36).Īnd “exalting God” is another way of saying, “worshiping God.” Psalm 99, verses 5 and 9 say, “ Exalt the Lord our God, and worship. This is what all creation in general, and humanity specifically, was designed to do: “From him and through him and to him are all things. Psalm 34:3 says, “Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together!” Exalting God, lifting him high with our words of praise and adoration, is a way of magnifying God, or glorifying God. ![]() But there is great depth in making this your heart-cry, both in corporate worship, and in the living sacrifice of everyday life.Įxalting God together gets to the very heart of why we were created. “We exalt thee” is a very simple refrain.
