Feeling Down? Look Up!
Feel like you’re standing alone? Don’t know where to turn? Gaze up at God, glance at the need and entrust it to His all-wise, all-loving care. He is the Lord, the Most High God who reigns over all. He’s Abba Father when we need fathering. He is All-sufficient in our hardest situations and the Author of faith in our unbelief and doubt. He’s Broken and spilled out for us when we feel used. He’s our Sure foundation when we’re shaking and insecure and Fullness when we’re empty. He’s the God of love when we feel unloved and need a hug. He is God with us when we feel alone or abandoned and He’s our Guide and the Way when we’re confused and need direction.
He is Healer for our woundedness, rejection and physical sickness. He’s our Hope when we’re discouraged and want to quit and our Joy when we’re depressed. He’s our Keeper and Protector when we’re vulnerable and the Lifter of our head when we’re feeling oppressed. He’s never failing when we’re faithless. He’s the Prince of Peace when we’re stressed, worried and confused, and our Provider for every need. He’s the Quieter of the storm for our struggles without and within and our Rest when we’re tired and can’t go on. He’s the restorer of our soul when we’re bruised and beaten down, our Reviver and Living Water when we are depleted, barren and thirsty. He is our Song and our Praise when we’re joyless and heavy of heart and Strong when we’re weak. He is Truth in spite of what the world says and our Vindicator when we’ve been wronged. He’s the Waymaker when it seems impossible and Wisdom for our hardest choices.
To whom else would we go?
“I will lift my eyes unto the hills; From where shall my help come? My help comes from the LORD, Maker of heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper, the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever.” Psalm 121
Powerful message, Marsha. I have been heavily leaning on and in to the Lord that past year. I am thankful that I have Someone Who is there to see me through.
I love Psalm 121:1-2 Marsha and the photo is so beautiful. Great message.
