Lift Off: Seeking What Is Above Through The Psalms Of Ascent

DAY 4 OF 21

Raise Your Gaze

It’s important to remember that God is over our situation. The things that seem too big for us are actually a small thing for God to perform. That’s why we are continually instructed to look up. It’s not a onetime event. It’s a daily consecration. The small act of looking up to God redirects our attention. It reminds us that we are dependent on Him for our needs. What are the things you need to daily look up to God for help?

Look at the sky and see.
    Who created these things?
    Who brings out the stars one by one?
        He calls them all by name.
Because of the greatness of his might and the strength of his power,
    not one of them is missing.

Isaiah 40:26 GW

Prayer:  God, thank You for this reminder to come to You every day with my needs. I know that from Heaven even my biggest problems are small in Your sight. Help me to see the things in my life from Your perspective. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
