Look up my brothers and sisters; our help also comes through Jesus and our Creator; our Father.




1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. Psalms 121:1-2 (KJV)

To be “downcast” is to be sad or even despondent.  It literally means we’re looking down; at our feet, at the ground or floor.  Looking down while walking, running or driving can be dangerous and makes prone to failure.  Looking down not only impedes our ability to foresee hazards and dangers but also places of safety and security.  To navigate life one needs to see the full picture and scope of life. “Followers of the Way” a.k.a. “Christians” can and should always look up to heaven for their deliverance.  The Lord Jesus said it this way:  “28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:28 (KJV)  The “things” Jesus is speaking about is times of distress, danger, persecution and of course the end times. 

King David found that looking up to the hills, perhaps Mt. Sinai, the “Mountain of God” and focusing on God gave him hope and confidence.  Look up my brothers and sisters; our help also comes from our Creator and through Jesus; our Father.

Read your Bible.

It has been said that in the heart of man is a God shaped void which can only be filled by the presence of God. Mankind has a hunger and thirst for the fulfillment only God can bring but sadly we seek to feed the hunger and quench the thirst with worldly things. God knows what we have need of and has written us a guide to discover how to have fullness of joy and peace. Read your Bible. 4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.  1 John 1:4 (NKJV)

Patience is really a prime element of successful living

"Patience is a Virtue" you've heard it said and it's one most of us neglect to seek. Patience is really a prime element of successful living. Good parents are patient parents, good cooks are patient, good teachers are patient, good fishermen are patient, good workers are patient and good Christians are patient. These persons know sometimes you just have to wait for the right moment for the elements of success to assemble themselves. Into each life trails will come but if we learn to wait and trust in God's Provision and Wisdom by faith our lives will be enriched with growth and knowledge. 1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trails, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.  James 1:1-4 (NKJV)

We need not doubt; God is faithful.

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) Testimonials, promoting something beneficial to or for you don't just happen in church. Every TV ad, radio commercial and newspaper ad is aimed at getting your attention and convincing you to make a purchase or subscribe to something new. That is the way of commerce and we accept it as a part of living. Some testimonials you can believe, but remember most are aimed at profiting the one doing the promoting. Christians, the Church are also involved in promoting something they believe will serve to better you; the Gospel of Christ! Through the ages God has pro
