Psalm 113:7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
In ancient years the "Valley of Hinnom" was a site just outside the walls of Jerusalem where the Canaanite god "Chemosh" was worshipped. They sacrificed their children to him.
The Israelites destroyed the idols and turned it into a garbage dump where fires brned continually. The most wretched of humans lived there.
Just as Jesus removes the "needy from the dunghill", so He removed the saint of God from the scrapheap of life and future torment of Hell.
Many of us were found in "the junkyard of humanity", salvaged by a gracious God. He changed our description and our destiny.
It's amazing that God would reach into the mess of this world to lift us out to rescue us from our sins. His glory and His grace make Him worthy of praise.
