I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2 ESV
The Bible tells us that faith hope and love are three things that will last forever. Faith is how we stay connected to God, Love is what keeps us there, but hope is how we get there in the first place! Without hope, life drags on but we feel as if the vitality is gone. In those situations, we look everywhere, just as Psalm 121 say, “Lifting up our eyes to the hills… the distant horizon, wondering where our help will come from. The good news is that God is there beyond the hills and He is also right here by our side. We need to put all of our hope in Him because He will never fail! This week, I am offering the book 31 Days of Hope for free beginning today and running through Saturday June 1st.

Whenever I read or hear this verse, I think of the chapel at the college I attended. It was in Virginia, surrounded by mountains. Over the door of the chapel were the words “I lift up my eyes” in Latin. (I think I remember the Latin words, but I don’t want to butcher them. ) When things are looking down, looking up IS the thing to do – not to the hills, but to the One who made them.

Oh I love your phrase, “When things are looking down, looking up is the thing to do!”
God is light and he lights up the darkness and gives us strength and refuge from the storms of life. Blessings Pastor Pete!
