Don’t Give up, Look up!

  1. Your Heavenly Father is there – John 14:1
  2. Your Savior is there – 1 Thess 1:10
  3. Your Citizenship is there – Phil 3:20
  4. Your Name is Recorded there- Rev 21:27
  5. Your Future is there – 2 Cor 5:8
  6. Your Help comes from there – Psalm 121:1-2
  7. Your LORD will Return from there- Acts 1:9-11

When feeling down or tempted to do so -STOP… Look up and THINK on Truth!

”Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, SET YOUR HEARTS ON THINGS ABOVE, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. SET YOUR MINDS ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT ON EARTHLY THINGS. FOR you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.”- {Col 3:1-3.}

NOTE, this is something we, you and me are to DO! We are Responsible to do this, “Set YOUR hearts… Set YOUR Minds…on things above” and NOT on things below”. You have to switch where you are setting your affections and mind! In those quiet moments choose what you will allow your thought life to dwell on. Phil 4:8 is a good verse to read, think on as a guide to training yourself how to think in a God honoring way.

APPLICATION;

1.You have to train yourself to THINK Right, Renew your MIND THINK on Truth…

2. Take Time and LOOK UP the verses mentioned above and read them and PICK one to memorize and meditate upon this week. That will be one more verse in your heart which the Holy Spirit can remind you of a reason not to yield to discouragement but LOOK UP to Him and what He says.

3. Memorize not just for yourself but for OTHERS… in order to be able to share with someone else who may be down or starting to head that way and you can give them comfort and reason to LOOK UP to Him in their time of temptation to yielding to despair. Memorize to HELP SOMEONE ELSE!

4. Thank Him for the above reasons you have which He gives so you can LOOK UP!
