Introduction
God sees the people the world overlooks. He raises the poor from the dust and seats the humble among princes. Like Ruth the foreigner, Rahab the outcast, or Bartimaeus the blind man by the roadside, you can make yourself available to the grace that changes the course of a life. God sees you, He hears you, and He can place you today in a new dimension of favor and honor. What others call coincidence, call it the hand of God upon your life.

Prayer
Father, I praise You, for You raise the poor from the dust and seat the humble among princes. Thank You that Your eyes rest on me with kindness. As You welcomed Ruth, Rahab, and Bartimaeus, You welcome me into Your favor. Lift me up according to Your purpose, at the time You have set, and keep my heart grateful and humble. Bless the people You place on my path to help me, and make me, in turn, a hand reaching out to lift others up. In Jesus’ name, amen.
