God Exalted
Isaiah 2:11
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down…


1. By entertaining elevating apprehensions of His infinite majesty, and exercising suitable affections towards Him — fearing Him who pours contempt upon princes, trusting in Him in whom is everlasting strength, and loving Him in whose favour there is life.

2. By celebrating the praises of His Divine excellencies with gratitude and joy.

3. By such conduct as may give the most sensible and lively representation of God — beginning, carrying on, and ending all their businesses in Him; making His love the principle, His law the rule, and His glory the end of all their actions.

(R. Macculloch.)
