Lift Up Your Eyes

 

     Feeling better this week? I hope so. I know the old strongholds will raise their ugly heads as long as we live on this fallen earth. Our Father is powerful enough, strong enough, protective enough, loving enough, merciful enough, to stick with us. When we are sidetracked from the path, He has chosen for us, He will find a way to get us back on course.

     Keep looking up. Focus on Jesus when things are falling apart. Our help comes from Him. Our Redeemer, our Savior, our Shepherd, our friend, the one and only Son, the perfect man, the one who fills our hearts with all that is good. Focus on Him.

Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Colossians 3:1-2

I will lift up my eyes to the hills-where do I get my help? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2

     Be transformed!

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-His good, perfect and pleasing will.  Romans 12:2

     His plans are good for you.

Jesus,

Place our hearts and our minds above all that drags us down. Let our gaze remain fixed on You  Remove us from the perils of this earth as Your children, alive forever, dearly loved.

Amen
