Once I asked one of the Christian authors a wish for our youth. She shared her testimony and how she came to Christ. In times of trials she would come home to brag to her mom about people and the church. To which her mom replied:”Who did you believe in? Keep your eyes on the Lord!”
As she shared, throughout her entire writers lifetime- that focus was what made it so successful.
Keep your head up and look at the snake- that’s what saved the Jews in the desert.
Look up to the One who saves. Our faith shakes when we begin to look around. The storm is big and the waves are high, Peter thought to himself as he was walking on the water. That was the literal test of his faith.
When we keep our eyes up, our world will always revolve around knowing Gods will and we will have enough strength to overcome temptation.
It’s easy to loose sight in the turmoil of life but look up and you will see the beauty of Gods promises. Up is where we belong.
