Psalm 113:7-8 (NIV): "He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; He seats them with princes, with the princes of His people." Reflection: No situation is too hopeless for God. He sees the struggles of the poor and the brokenhearted, and in His perfect timing, He lifts them up — not just to a place of comfort, but to positions of honor and purpose. This verse reminds us that God’s grace can transform any life, turning ashes into beauty and despair into dignity.
