Raise Your Sights!

Wednesday’s Scripture Readings:
OT: Daniel 4
NT: Hebrews 11
W&W: Psalm 126

Today’s Reflection:

Daniel 4.34 says, “At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever.”

Through his own vanity and pride, the Babylonian King, Nebuchadnezzar, had found himself driven from the palace and living like an animal. He lived that way for 7 years before he came to his senses and raised his eyes to heaven.

Are you confused? Are you uncertain about the meaning of life? Are you afraid? Raise your eyes to heaven! God will give you wisdom and lead you in the way you should go!

Special Note to Jenny: As I prayed this morning, the Lord gave me this passage to share with you - "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4.4-7). That would be a good one to memorize as you are waiting on the Lord to work things out in regards to "stuff."

This Week’s Scripture to Memorize:
Joel 2. 28-29, 31a: And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days… And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.

Thanks Dad! I needed that even more than I could have realized this morning... God is so good, and always has gotten me through any tough time. I choose to trust in His plan and His timing!
