Privilege of the Lowly

Psalm 138:6 - "For though the Lord is exalted, yet He regards the lowly, but the haughty He knows from afar."

In another psalm it states how the Lord humbles Himself even to look at heaven (Psalm 113:6). How much more mortal flesh? Yet, He loves and adores us, seeking our companionship in all things. He sees those who have trusted in His Son as robed with His righteousness.

Shall we know the Lord intimately through humility and obedience in all things? Or, shall we know Him as an acquaintance from a far off? It is possible to be saved and going to heaven with this nominal relationship. However, may we all desire to stand before the Great King on that wonderful day when time surrenders to eternity, knowing Him in our lowly state as He exalts us in the presence of all.
