Get the appLift Off: Seeking What Is Above Through The Psalms Of Ascentনমুনা
Keep Your Head Up
When you climb higher your view will begin to change. Often when we set out to reach new heights we can only see the negative things that surround us. We see the reasons why we can’t change, the things that are holding us back and all the reasons why we’ll fail. Sometimes the mountains in front of us are so big they can seem insurmountable. But you can’t continue to ascend by merely watching your step. You have to lift up your eyes to where God is taking you. Something powerful happens when we stop looking at our current situation and start looking up to where we’re going - We discover that God is helping us with each step we take. Are you focused on the negative things in front of you or where God is taking you?
Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.
— Philippians 3:13-14 MSG
Prayer: Lord, help me to see my situation through Your eyes today. Give me a new perspective as I set out toward where You’re calling me. Help me to see the places where You’ve kept me in the past and give me faith to believe that You will sustain me for what’s ahead. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
