Look Up

With all the chaos in the world today,it is hard to look on the bright side of things.We don't have to turn on the news to see the cunning schemes of the enemy at every turn.There are liars,deceptions,jealousy,strife within all of our spheres of influence.One thing I have realized is to stop asking God to take it away everytime something unpleasant happens;but instead ask for the strength and wisdom to go through it.He will not always rescue us from the pit,but allow the lions&beasts to be a pillow for our head,and a cover during the cold trial.He will truly prepare a table for us in the very presence of our enemies as long as we continue to look up to him and not at all the waves of turmoil that go on around our lives.Notice I said AROUND we do not have to let in negativity,or anything that is contrary to the will of God for our lives.Therefore,I choose to look up to the hills where my real help comes from,it comes from the Lord!Thanking him in spite of the tears,wounds,and bruises I know it's for my good.Everything we need to complete the assignment he has given us is inside of us,we just have to continue to seek him.
