Look Up
When life seems overwhelming and too much to bear, look up! Jesus is right there with you to give you the strength that you need to face whatever trial you are going through. There are no problems that God can’t handle, so trust Him to work things out according to His plan–not  yours! Remember that God doesn’t always make our problems go away, but He is there to help us through. Sometimes we want God to wave His magic wand and to make the mountain of bills piling up on your desk just go away. But don’t tell God what to do! He has a million ways to answer your prayers. It’s hard to hear God’s voice when you’ve already decided what you want Him to say. The Bible is filled with great examples of how God answered prayers. When the Israelites prayed for God to save them, He didn’t remove the Red Sea in front of them–He parted it. He didn’t remove the lions from the den for Daniel–He shut their mouths. Instead of sending five thousand hungry people home to eat, He fed them all from a little boy's lunch. God may not answer your prayers the way you want Him to, but He always answers according to what’s best for you, and He will make a way for you to get through every trial. So when the world wants you to “give up,” don’t listen. Hang on to hope and keep trying and keep trusting! Remember that a winner is just a loser who “tried one more time”! And winners are not people who never fail, but people who never quit! Now that’s something to think about. The next time Satan tells you to quit and throw in the towel . . . don’t give up–look up! Text: Isaiah 40:29-31, James 1:12, Proverbs 16:7, Hebrews 11:6

Bible Texts:
Isaiah 40:29-31 NKJV - He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. 

James 1:12 NKJV - Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 

Proverbs 16:7 NKJV - When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. 

Hebrews 11:6 NKJV - But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
