RAISE YOUR GAZE!

This morning I woke up to hear the birds singing and with Psalm 34 upon my heart.  This psalm of David is headed 'Seek the Lord'  in my bible.
'I will bless the Lord at ALL times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth'

I was sensing that many are finding this difficult in their current circumstances.  There are questions that don't seem to be answered, they are struggling through pain and prayer, at times wondering where the hec God is?  Prayers have been consistent, but as yet.....the answer has not arrived.  The manifestation of promises, seems to be dragging its feet!

So, what do we do in those circumstances? When there's such a battle between our hearts and minds.  When 'blessing the Lord at ALL times' seems so difficult; when our hearts feel so heavy.  When we KNOW the JOY of the Lord is our strength and yet our 'couch is watered with tears'  Psalm 6:6

We purposely 'RAISE OUR GAZE' we continue to look to Him.  Our communion with Heaven maybe just an occasional  'thank you' throughout the day.  (This has been a personal experience)

Verse 3: 'O magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together.'
Grab a few worshipful friends together, begin to gaze upon Him; REST in His presence.  See what He is saying about your circumstances.  Love on one another as a family should, as He intended.

'The praise of one Christian is accepted before God as a grain of incense, but the praise of many is like a censer full of frankincense, wafting its smoke before the Lord'.  Charles Spurgeon
Let HOPE arise....

Verse 15: 'The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry'  
Verse 19: 'Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivers him out of them all'

Whatever our circumstance, whatever our situation, this I know; that He is our Deliverer, He is our Hope, He is our Father and HE HAS got this! 💕
