Psalm 139:5 — You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.

One Sunday morning I was in need of a spiritual lift from God. The music in our church’s contemporary service was just what my soul needed. One song we sang was “Another in the Fire.” “Look Up Child” was another song that we sang and it spoke directly to my spirit. The words below were just what I needed to lift my mood.

Where are you now when darkness seems to win? Where are you now when the world is crumbling? Oh I hear you say, look up child.

Where are you now when all I feel is doubt? Oh where are you now when I can’t figure it out? Oh I hear you say, look up child.

You’re not threatened by the war. You’re not shaken by the storm. I know you’re in control even in our suffering, even when it can’t be seen, I know you’re in control. Oh I hear you say, look up child.

Dear friends, my prayer for you today is that you will find comfort, strength and courage in the knowledge that Your Creator is preparing the steps of your journey. No matter what the struggle, no matter what the battle, He is already ahead of you. Today open your eyes to His provision. Listen for the voice of God saying look up, child.
