I will lift up my eyes to the hills—from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
A lot of people look to the wrong things when they find themselves in difficult situations. They focus on the size of their problem, the risks that they’re facing, the negative things others are saying about them, or their fear of failure. Those things drag them down, and looking to them will not help them.
The Word of God gives us a much better option when we’re in need of help. Instead of looking down at the things that can’t help us, the Bible tells us to look up—to put our focus on the One who will always help us. When David was in trouble, he would turn and cast his eyes upward, because he knew his help came from on high.
When you’re going through something and not sure what to do, use your spiritual eyes and just look up. Look for the Lord. He is the One who can help you. He is the One who will rescue you.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, whenever I face challenges, help me to look up to You, my true Source of strength and rescue, and simply trust in Your guidance and love.
