THE DAILY BLUEPRINT FOR 12-15-06

WHERE YOU LOOK

PSALM 123:2
Behold, as the eyes of the servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto them hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that HE have mercy upon us!


Where trouble comes -where do you look for help? If you are like most of us - the first place we usually look is to ourselves- then if we cannot obtain the answer on our own -we then go to God - this my friends is not the way God longs for us to deal with the trials of life - He wants us to look to Him - many of our problems stem from how we deal with the trials of life -if we try to solve them all on our own we leave God out of the picture - it should be noted here that God is not a vending machine - He is not some genie we can go to with any request and HE has to give us what we want when we want it - rather God is our Father in Heaven and HE wants to give us good gifts - He knows what we have need of before we even ask Him - He has it covered - When we look to HIM and not ourselves or others- HE is honored and praised!

Since getting married 2 and half years ago - ive learned that I can over do things - I can do too much and not allow my wife to pitch in - this is the same way with God - HE does not want self-sufficient people who can get along without Him - He wants people who know their place is at HIS feet- people who know they need HIM-
I have admit there are times I feel fine on my own, there are days when I do not cry out to God for help - those are missed opportunities that could have been used to bring glory to God - we are all in the same boat- lets trust the LORD with everything - HE made it all and owns it all - Lets be careful of where we look for help- it should be in CHRIST ALONE! amen!

A side note: WHEN TROUBLE COMES - AND IT WILL - LETS BE SURE TO LOOK TO THE LORD FOR OUR HELP! HE IS OUR ONLY HOPE! WE ALL NEED HIM - WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING APART FROM HIM! <><

Because of CHRIST we have constant help in life's storms!
