Take a pause and look up!

Matthew 6.26

“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”. (NIV)



It is so easy to be caught up with daily activities and worries. But our heavenly Father asks us to more and more trust Him to fill all of our needs. Look at the birds! It's amazing how they get fed every day! And we are a lot more valuable compared to them, in the eyes of our heavenly Father.

Jehovah sees - Jehovah knows

Genesis 22.14

"And Abraham gave that place the name Yahweh-yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mountain the Lord is seen."

Sometimes it can be easy to worry and be a bit selfish. Maybe thoughts of condemnation knocks on the door. It can also easy to fall down in self-pity. Then we have to remember that we have someone that has been in bigger trouble than us. He also does not only see our circumstance, but he also is the way out of it. If we look up to our creator God and his son Jesus, he will bring a way for us. He is the Alpha & Omega. He can make a season stop, and create a new season in our lifes. So don't hold on to the past, but let it go, and continue together with Jesus. Invite Him in your life. He is only a prayer away.


 

He sees us. He hears us. He knows what we think even before we do. Let us come before him, and let Him speak to our hearts.
