LOOK UP

The love of God draws us to Him, to

repentance and holiness and closeness to Him, because the only safe
place, is to be close to Him. Often, when things start going wrong in
our lives, when troubles are more and greater than solutions,
believers start blaming satan. They fail to see the hand of God, that
is arranging obstacles around them, that they cannot climb over,
leading them into problems that they cannot solve.
God is forcing
them to LOOK UP, come to Him, call on Him. Nothing happens in the
life of a child of God without His knowledge and approval. The
prophet Amos wrote:
"6If a trumpet is blown in a city will
not the people tremble?
          
If a calamity occurs in a city has not the LORD done it?
 
7Surely the Lord GOD does nothing
          
Unless He reveals His secret counsel
          
To His servants the prophets." Amos 3:6,7.

Where do we
run to when it seams as though things are out of control and heading
for disaster? Do we bow before Jesus, humble ourselves before Him and
seek His counsel, or do we run around in panic and despair? Do we
look up and call on Jesus?
God is in control. He knows what He is
doing. We must just trust Him, stay with Him and obey Him and He will
work all things out for good.
May Jesus bless you.
