Lift Up Your Eyes
Deacon Inga Robinson
Isaiah 40:26 26 - Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
One day, I was answering a questionnaire that asked this, “When you pass people walking down the street, do you look at people in the face, look down at the ground, or too busy to notice anyone?” The questions were designed to highlight our personality. Which one are you? If God was trying to get your attention as you walked down the street, would you be too busy to notice or to be inconvenienced by stopping? Would you be too occupied with your own troubles to listen? Would you be too scared, too nervous or too insecure to look up? Maybe, just maybe you are the one to look into the eyes of God. Whichever person you are, Isaiah said, “lift up your eyes and look to heaven.” No matter what you are going through, be encouraged. God has created all things. That is you, me and everything on earth and in heaven. He knows us! You mean he knows my name? Yes! If God knows every name of every star, He definitely knows our names. God calls the stars and us forth by name. Listen, do you hear Him? When God speaks, what’s invisible to us is visible to God. Therefore, when God calls us, stop and lift up your eyes and look to God in heaven. Psalm 121:1 says to lift up your eyes to where your help comes from.
Jehovah Jireh, My Provider, Your grace is sufficient for me. Lord I will be encouraged that when I feel down, look down, or fall down, I can lift up my eyes unto you and you will pick me up. Lord God you alone are all mighty and all powerful. Thank you for calling me by name, while I was yet still a sinner. Forgive me Lord, I haven’t always seen or understood the move of God, but Lord you are always showing favor over my life. I declare that I am encouraged and persuaded that nothing shall separate me from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39) In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
