Look Up!

There is so much spinning around in my head that I want to write about! This phrase was brought to my attention this week and I keep reminding myself (and my children) to do this.



I was scrolling on Instagram (which I hate to do and yet have found myself doing it more lately) and a person that I follow with tips of how to relieve anxiety said that one way to help us by "looking up." Scientifically they have shown that stopping to look up (refocus) helps relieve anxiety. I found this interesting because I know it is mentioned in the Bible.



I started thinking about Bible verses that are about looking up...


Psalm 121:1-2


If I raise my eyes to the hills,


from where will my help come?


My help comes from Adonai,


the maker of heaven and earth.


Some versions say "look up" or "lift up" instead of raise my eyes...


Psalm 123:1


I raise my eyes to you,


whose throne is in heaven.



Luke 21:28


When these things start to happen, stand up and hold your heads high; because you are about to be liberated!”



Some versions say, "Look up and hold your heads high."



There are more... Look them up. Encourage yourself today by "Looking Up."



Looking up when you are inside? Not so encouraging. It's why nature and being outside is sooooo important! We hunch over a computer, books, on our phones, a bed, watch TV.... but we forget to go outside and LOOK UP!



The sky, the trees, the birds... they should ALL lead us back to the ONE who Created us. We should enjoy HIS love that He shares through His creation.



Focusing on Him, by looking up, takes our mind away from the worries around us.




Take time today to Look Up and see how He can bring you peace. Share that peace (and LOVE) with those around you.



Love and blessings,


Rose
