Set your eyes up on High

 When it comes to seeing what we are faced with in this world it is easy to become discouraged by what we see if we look at everything from a worldly view. With rioting and a pandemic and race relations being our focus there appears to be no hope for peace and for justice to be served properly in this world.  

However if we get our eyes focused on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and begin to see things of our world from His perspective than fear and worry will flee.  The Lord wants us to look to the hills where our help comes from. Colossians 3:1-4 says the following, " If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.  Set your mind on things above, not on things of the earth.  For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.  When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. " Church our God has not failed us up to now and He will not us down.  Renew your mind with His Word and keep your perspective not on what you see and hear from the news outlets of the world, but get your eyes on the Lord most High because we may be in this world, but our Kingdom, the Kingdom of Heaven trumps all that the enemy of mankind can do or attempt to do to me or you.  For He is Risen!  And if you behold Him so shall you be raised so you and I can be where He is.  Hallelujah!!
