You’ve Got to Look Up, Look Up!!

Things may NOT always seem to go our way, but OUR FATHER in heaven is always there for us; watching over us!!



He tells us NOT to give up!!!  Because no matter what OUR GOD WILL PREVAIL!!! 



Psalm 121:1-2, 7-8 (NCV)

 ¹ I look up to the hills,
       but where does my help come from?

 ² My help comes from the Lord,
       who made heaven and earth.


 ⁷ The Lord will protect you from all dangers;
       he will guard your life.

 ⁸ The Lord will guard you as you come and go,
       both now and forever.

Hebrews 12:1-2 (NCV)

 ¹ We are surrounded by a great cloud of people whose lives tell us what faith means. So let us run the race that is before us and never give up. We should remove from our lives anything that would get in the way and the sin that so easily holds us back.

² Let us look only to Jesus, the One who began our faith and who makes it perfect. He suffered death on the cross. But He accepted the shame as if it were nothing because of the joy that God put before Him. And now He is sitting at the right side of God's throne.

When we depend on God, we will see God move in our lives. 



We may NOT always understand why certain things happen, but when we place our trust in HIM, HE will bring us through the storm!!!

Rise Up - Matt Maher

When you see the road ahead
That you've been down before
When you're halfway to nowhere
And you can't pay the toll

You're hanging onto mercy
Withered on the vine
With your feet on the ground, your head in the clouds
And your heart on the line

Open up your eyes…

You've got to rise up, rise up
When this life has got you down
You've got to look up, look up
When you search and nothing's found
My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now
It's coming down
So rise up now.

Yeah, yeah

When you're told that day is over
Long after the sun goes down
And your mind it keeps on racing
At the dreams that don't come 'round

When you don't know how to surrender
Cause your whole life's been a fight
When the dark holds you and you can't break through
Cause you haven't seen the light.

Open up your eyes…

You've got to rise up, rise up
When this life has got you down
You've got to look up, look up
When you search and nothing's found
My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now
It's coming down
So rise up now.
Yeah rise up now,
Oh rise up now.

And all the lambs roar like lions
And all the prisoners breaking their chains
And all the poor find their treasure
Cause heaven is coming this way.

And all the lambs roar like lions
And all the prisoners breaking their chains
And all the poor find their treasure
Cause heaven is coming this way.

Rise up, rise up
When this life has got you down
You've got to look up, look up
When you search and nothing's found
My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now
It's coming down
So rise up now.
Yeah rise up now,
Oh rise up now.

Yeah, yeah
