Look Up

So, it has been a few days since posting. I have had some scheduling challenges and have been extremely busy. We have also had some family health issues, which GOD is working through and we are fully trusting Him to restore the health of those affected. It has been busy.

I have noticed, though, that even in the busyness, if we will just try to reflect on the positive, if we will try to concentrate on the good, we can find moments of peace and solitude. Yes, this world can be quite difficult. It can knock you down time and time and time again. However, we will never lose if we just choose to get up one more time than we get knocked down.

Today's word is Psalm 5:3, KJV, which reads, "My voice shalt Thou here in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up."

I like this verse for several reasons. The first being that the first thing in the morning, before we try to get anything else going, before we try to tackle anything and everything, we need to pray. David writes here that "in the morning" he will pray. Nothing will start our day better than taking a few minutes to commune with the FATHER and to allow Him to speak to us and to comfort us.

The second thing is the very last statement, "...and will look up." If we continually walk around with our heads down, we are going to run into something or fall off of something. It is important for us to lift our eyes and to see that GOD has things under control and that He holds us in His hands. We need to look up and see the splendor of all His creation and to see that He has laid our path before us. We will never accomplish what we need to do if we continue to fall into the potholes. We will never get ourselves where we need to be if we continual run into obstacles. We will continue to stumble if we keep looking at all the bad distractions. Don't let this world cause you to drop your head - look up!

Be Blessed,
