ALWAYS LOOK UPWARD!

“Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.” Psalm 107:15

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding. Seek his will in all that you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6

As we travel through life on this earth, we are subject to many twists and turns. It is at these times that we must look upward and allow God to rain his many blessings upon us. It seems that sometimes our peace and answers to prayer come from Jesus in awkward and unlikely times. What is important is that we continue to press forward with our stance straight and our focus on Jesus established and strong. There are so many so-called Christians in today’s world who say they believe in our Lord but only believe when the time is convenient. However, when the twists and turns of life begin to set in as reality, they pull away from Christ Jesus and begin to believe in and depend upon themselves. When this happens, failure is more than likely on the horizon. It is impossible to believe sometimes and not at other times. Belief in Jesus is a commitment that stands forever. It is a solid foundation that allows us to build upon it and establish faith that grows and grows. We are to take action upon the word that our Lord gives us. If he delays in answering our prayers, then we also should stay silent until his answers arrive. We should always be looking upward. We are to lean upon him and not on our understanding. It is He who has the wisdom and understanding to give us in all situations. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
