I will lift up my eyes unto the hills - from whence cometh my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Ps. 121:1
At times when we are low done (at least, I for one), struggling, to find our way out of problems, we are there because we have not casted our cares upon the Lord as He asks us to do in Psalm 55:22 - Cast your burden updon the Lord, and He will sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
We need to lift up our eyes to Him; who our help comes from. He is ever ready to help us if we only will look up to Him. He stands there holding out to us the golden treasure of eternal life, waiting with patient love, ...waiting for us to look up and behold the gift that He offers us.
Why is it that we so often refuse to look up to Him? Why do we concentrate so much on our cares at hand that we forget to care for the eternal?
Ah, the sinfulness of mankind, how our dear Lord must suffer to see us in the state we are when He knows what is laid up for us if we only persevere, - if we only look to Him, cast our cares on Him, and allow Him to lead us on to much better things. Much...by far better things than we could ever imagine. Yet, we so often are so engrossed in earthly things that we forget the most imprtant in our lives. The things that are but for a moment we focus on instead of putting our focus on the eternal things, - the things that are lasting. Why?
Oh, how the devil must laugh when He sees what we are missing out on. He so wants our souls, but friends, we must not let that happen, ...we must resist the devil, and lift up our eyes unto the hills and cry unto Him, for from above comes our help. Help, true help, lasting help, the God of love will reach down and lift you up if you only will "lift up thine eyes."

"Why is it that we so often refuse to look up to Him?" That's a great question and we really are so silly when He *provides* for us ways to rest in Him, but we don't take Him seriously enough when He says "Be anxious for nothing". Thanks for your post; I needed to hear that today! :)
