I LOOK UP TO THE MOUNTAINS

“I look up to the mountains does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. The Lord himself watches over you. The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night. The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.” Psalm 121:1-8

Yes, the God of the whole universe, the God of all mankind, the God who alone made all things that ever existed and will come to exist on earth, and the God who has all physical and spiritual things under His control is quite able to lift you up; He is ever willing to make you stand again, and will do as you have requested that His name be glorified in you. There is nothing impossible with Him, in Him, and through Him; there is nothing too tough beyond His ability to do, none is too big and none is too small for Him to do for His children, for those who will faithfully look to Him and wait on Him. There are no doors He cannot open for you, there are no physical or spiritual situations He cannot completely deliver you from and enable you to overcome all its consequences; there are no places He cannot take you to and take you through, no office on earth that He cannot make a way for you to enter, and there are no human beings He cannot use to accomplish His task of blessing your life the way He wanted as you hold on to Him with all of your strength, with all of your heart, and with all of your mind.

God does not want you to remain downcast forever, that will bring a disgrace to His name in you; He does not want you to be discouraged as you follow Him, trust His words and hold on to His promises in whatever you pass through; He does not want you to be discouraged in doing what is right and acceptable before Him despite what people are saying and doing against you, and despite all the disappointments, because He still has better things for your life; He does not want you to remain frustrated all your day. Remaining in any form of frustration is a hindrance to good thoughts, a hindrance to your ability, a hindrance to good expectations, and a hindrance to God’s blessings upon your life. God does not want you to be oppressed by anyone, depressed by any thoughts, and He does not want you to be affected by your past, irrespective of its magnitude because He has better things for your life.

It is God’s desire that you be lifted up from where you have fallen, it is His desire that you will stand up stronger than what you were before and advance beyond where you are and what you have been before today; it is His desire to take you up beyond impossibilities, beyond those past and present fears of what will and if not; it is His desire to take you beyond hindrances, beyond oppositions, and beyond the calculations of men against you. God is taking you upward in grace and in ability, He is taking you upward in knowledge and wisdom, He is taking you upward in understanding and in a relationship, and He is taking you upward in business and in. Those are God’s desires for you and He will do them; those are my desires, my prayers and my everyday expectations for your life. As you follow our Lord Jesus Christ, as you worship Him, submit to Him, trust Him in every step, in every word you speak, and in every meditation in your heart, my God will take you up, clean you up, anoint you, set you up and establish you.

David was not given any recognition by his family before God found him in the bush tending the family sheep, He was not recognized by anyone in the society; had no dream and no recorded desire before the day God picked him up, brushed him up, anointed him, and set him up to be the next king of Israel. God lifted David up and set him up beyond the expectations of his parents and brothers; God established him in His glory and made him excel beyond dreams, and that is the same God who will lift you up and set you up.
