At the top of my to-do list, as I’m racing through life:
LOOK UP
Along with a lightning-fast pain reflex designed to move me away from danger, I’m convinced that God has given me a worry reflex designed to rivet my attention on Him.
A.W. Tozer says, “Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God.”
It reminds me of that wonderful one-word Psalm I found in a name-list in Chronicles:
Elioenai: “toward Jah are my eyes”
While in the grip of stress or some other strong emotion, do you ever feel like you’ve run into a very tall, smooth wall when you try to pray? Sometimes I do, and then I stand there feeling puzzled. But now…
I can just look up.
“We have no might…neither know we what to do, but our eyes are on You.”
