The Reason WHy the Bible Tells Us to Look UP!

There are MANY verses in the Bible that direct us to "look up" in life. I was thinking the other day about the significance of that directive.

When we look down in life, we only have our hands and the things that WE create , the earth that we walk on and the problems that we can only see. When we look UP, we are setting our sights above our circumstances and changing our perspective. When you look up you change your focal point from near to looking ahead and further than just in front of you. God is always encouraging us to look ahead and expect that He is bringing us out of difficult circumstances and into a place of learning and leaning on Him. 

Today, consider your gaze and where you set your sight. When you look down, you only see the things that YOU can control but when you look UP the possibilities with God in control are limitless!
