They looked to Him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. Psalms 34:5 KJV

Who are you looking up to? Are you looking up to a man or God? It doesn’t matter what social status the person you’re looking up to has, the moment you start placing your trust on men, you start exposing yourself to disappointments because man is not God that cannot lie. In Jeremiah 17:5, the Lord says, “cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord.” God hates it when you do not trust Him and that is why you might be cursing yourself each time you trust men instead of God. No matter the challenge before you dare to trust God and you will not be disappointed that you did.  You will look up to God and be lighted with revelations of what to do that will bring relief and you will not be ashamed.

Today’s Thought: “Look up to God and not to men.”

Keynote: To avoid shame and disappointment, put your trust only in God.

Counsel: Don’t look up to people that are depending on a source, instead depend on the authentic source, which is Jesus.

Prayer: Father in the name Jesus, help me to look up to You only in my life’s journey. May nothing and may no one ever replace the confidence I have in and for You, amen.
