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.

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)

How much have you progressed in your journey with God?

1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.   Isaiah 51:1-2 (KJV) The art or process of mapping a journey overland, sea, air or space requires the use of fixed or known reference points along the route.   It naturally begins with a starting points and the identification of a destination.   When covering large distances “way points” are established to (1) measure distance traveled and for (2) course correction to ensure one is still on the planned route.   Way points are also places where one can restock supplies, rest and refit for the journey.   The Hebrews of Isaiah’s time had a “history” with God and here He calls them for a stroll down memory lane.   Modern day Believers also have a “history” with ...

Are you “on schedule” with God or are you running late? If not; today is a good time to start catching up!
