Keep Looking Up
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” John 14:1.
A feeling of Hopelessness enters the heart, whether it is from grief of loss, or despondency from a dire circumstance; those are times that you literally grasp to hang on, desiring for some sense of relief and suddenly a still small voice whisper… “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” John 14:1.
The light shines through the darkness, reminding us that there is hope in God! There is absolutely nowhere that we can find ourselves in life that God is not already there, comforting, holding, leading, and making a way out of no way. Psalm 139: 7-10 gives us the assurance that God’s abiding presence is with us at all times “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
So, my friends, start this day knowing that whatever you need and all those things that concern you, God will lovingly supply…and even at our weakest moments and those things that can bring us to our knees, remember these comforting words: “A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.” Matthew 12:20.
Yes, tears do fall, but the Great I AM and Comforter of our souls is faithful to wipe away every single tear… “Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;” Psalm 30:11. I can hear the voice of the late Rev. Paul Jones singing “I Won’t Complain.”
I had some good days
And I had some hills to climb
I’ve had some weary days
And some sleepless nights
But when I look around
And I think things over
All of my good days
Out-weigh my bad days
I won’t complain
God blessings for a wonderful day in the Lord, keep looking up and stay encouraged!
Thank you LORD!!! AMEN HALLELU
