We often get caught in looking around us at the difficulties we face. This is where we live. However, in order to do our best in the circumstances we face we need to look up. Our life’s purpose is to honor and glorify God. We are to “store up…treasure in heaven” according to Matthew 6:20. Colossians 2:3 reminds us that we are dead to ourselves and our life is all about Christ. While the concept of dying to ourselves is painful, looking up gives us a beautiful view.

Dear Heavenly Father, please help us to remember to look to you instead of focusing on our difficulties. Thank You for providing a wonderful view when we look up.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.
