Look to God

“Lift up your heads, because your
 redemption draws near.”

LUKE 21:28

If you’ve ever flown in an airplane, you know that your perspective of the Earth is far different from what it was when you were on the ground. Pictures of the Earth that have been taken from the moon and from space show an Earth that looks much different from what we see down here.

This is the kind of perspective God wants to give us concerning our lives. As we look to God instead of to ourselves and our circumstances, our perspective changes.

Don’t get bogged down in the circumstances of life. At the moment we see only our immediate problems and burdens, but God sees the whole. He sees not only the present but the future as well. He wants to lift us above ourselves. He wants us to see everything in light of His plans. The psalmist said, “The LORD will perfect that which concerns me” (138:8).

Don’t get bogged down. Keep your eyes on God, for He sees the whole picture and knows what is best for you. You can trust Him, because He loves you.
