Just Look Up

Have you ever awakened real early in the morning, before the sun comes up and went outside and just listened? Have you ever just listened to the breeze blowing, the different animals chirping? Have you ever simply sat back and looked up in the early morning sky and watch the clouds as they streak across the sky? As you look up you see the stars, the heavenly host, each one created by our Lord Jesus Christ. You cannot help but be filled with wonder and awe for God's greatness. You cannot help but feel His presence. And then to think, that He knows you. He sees you! He understands you!

David exclaimed in Psalm 139 that such a knowledge is "too inaccessible to me." It simply blows my mind. It is beyond my comprehension; but, nevertheless, it is still true!

Sometimes we feel so insignificant. Sometimes we feel so small, but the good news is this, our feelings do not change the fact that He still cares. He still understands. He still knows you. Just because we cannot get our finite minds around this truth does not change the truth. God sees you.

Walk today in the blessings of knowing God is watching you. He is watching with love and with a desire to work in your life. When you get tired, frustrated, or even feeling small, take a moment and look up. Take a deep breath and hold it for a few seconds then release it, then repeat it. Take a moment to slow down and take in all that is around you. You will see God in the midst of it all. Friend, as you look up you will see that He is looking down.

This is today,
