Don't Look Down

When I train dancers, I frequently have to tell them "don't look down... the floor will be there whether you look at it or not... look up".  There are times God has wonderful things for us, but we miss them because we are not looking in the right direction.  If the eyes of our hearts are looking down, at the negative, at the problem, at the pain, fear, lack, etc., then the blessings of God are not in our field of vision (PAE). Where you put your focus is your choice. You can look and think up or look and think down. James 3 says we set our own course by the words we say.

If you have lived a life of righteousness, you have planted seeds of righteousness, and you have an eternal harvest of righteousness.  Expect it.  Look for it. Don't see it today?  Don't let that discourage you.  Keep trusting God and speaking life.  What you can't see today, you may see tomorrow. In 2 Kings 6, Elisha and his servant were about to war with the king of Syria. The servant saw the Syrian army of horses and chariots that were about to attack them and he was fearful, until Elisha prayed that his eyes would be opened.  Then he saw the "horses and chariots of fire" sent by God to defend them.  They were more numerous than Aram's army.  Follow me?  God's provisions and blessings were there, even though the servant did not, at first, see them.

I sincerely hope that you are, like I am, making progress rejecting the nasty lies from that slimy snake and your knee-jerk reactions are shifting from fear, doubt, and disappointment to trust, faith, and expectation.

Keep your head up baby.

"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened

in order that you may know the hope
to which he has called you,

the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,
 and his incomparably

great power for us who believe."

Ephesians 1
