Look up at God
“Look to him, and be radiant; so, your faces shall never be ashamed” - Psalm 34:5
There is a lovely sunflower garden near my house. I used wonder at the mystery of sunflowers. Young flowers move their blooms to always face the sun over the course of a day. Young flowers face east at dawn, they turn their heads up at midday when the sun is above our heads and then slowly turn west as the sun moves across the sky. How wonderful it is! God teaches values through His creations in nature. What do we learn? Without following and relying on the fickle minded men and the temporal world, we have to lift up our eyes and look to God.
The psalmist realizing the need to turn towards God says, “I lift up my eyes to the hills from where will my help come.” He does not stop with this. He humbles himself and says, “As the eyes of the servants look to the hand o their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God until He has mercy upon us.” His unshakable faith was that whoever trust in God and keep the Lord before them, will never be moved or disgraced. How can we look up at the Lord? Only through prayer. Yes, prayer is the key for the day and lock for the night. If we look up at the Lord every day, we will be exalted. King David prayed in the evening, morning and at noon. Although Daniel was in Babylon, he opened the windows that faced towards Jerusalem and he bowed down on his knees and prayed three times every day. They were elevated in their lives and were triumphant.
Beloved readers, just like sunflowers that follow every movement of the sun, let us turn towards the Lord Jesus “Righteous Sun” and learn to follow His ways. That is the only way for our protection and prosperity. When prayer goes up, blessings come down.
