(see also Isaiah 41:10)

God is the Creator of the universe. He has answers to the things you don’t understand about your life. He is your helper. The psalmist said in Psalms 121 that

“I look up to the mountains – does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed, he watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night. The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.”

God is your helper in times of need.  “And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

He is your helper in times of trouble. In Psalms 34:19, the scripture says “The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.”

Your help isn’t going to come from anywhere but from the Lord. Man will promise and fail you. Man will disappoint you. And man will hurt you in the end.

Friend I came to encourage you that don’t be afraid, for God is with you. Don’t be discouraged, for He is your God. He will strengthen you and help you.

Say this “Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me”

Praise the Lord forevermore!

LOOK UP

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

“Look unto me, and be ye saved…for I am God, and there is none else” Isaiah 45:22

In whatever state, in whatever place, into whatever condition we may be brought this year – let us seek grace to follow Lord’s loving advice and look up.

Don’t look back – as Lot’s wife did.

Don’t look within – as too many do.

Don’t look around – as David did. But “look up!” Look up to God – He is your Father, your friend, your saviour. He can help you. He will help you.

Look up for light to guide you – and He will direct your path.

Look up for grace to sanctify you – and the grace of Jesus will be found sufficient for you.

Look up for strength to enable you to do and suffer God’s will – and His strength will be made perfect in your weakness.

Look up for comfort to cheer you – and as one whom his mother comforts, so will the Lord comfort you.

Look up for courage to embolden you – and the Lord will give courage to faint; and to those who have no might – He will increase strength.

Look up for endurance to keep you – and the God who preserves you will enable you quietly to bear the heaviest burden, and silently to endure the most painful affliction.

Look up for providence to supply you – and the jar of flour will not be used up, and the jar of oil will not run dry; but God shall supply all your needs, according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Look up in faith – exercising confidence in the Word of a faithful God.

Look up in prayer – asking for what God has graciously promised.

Look up in hope – expecting what you ask in the Name of Jesus.

Look up with adoration – and adore the sovereignty, righteousness, and wisdom of God.

Look up constantly – let nothing daunt or discourage you! Rather say, “Our eyes are on the Lord our God – until He shows us mercy.”
