FAITH CAPSULE: Keep looking up to God that there is no way to be ashamed.

2 Timothy 4

The name of the Lord God is undisputable deliverer. His name is sure strong enough to look upon for deliverance and preservation. Also, looking up to the name of God is running to Him. Proverbs 18:10 declared, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” Truly love God to look up to Him. God is a good God that will look upon those who look up to Him as the Psalmist stated, “Look upon me and be merciful to me, as Your custom is toward those who love Your name.” (Psalm 119:132)
Looking up to man is looking away from God. Looking up to man will disappoint man; looking up to man will delay and displace man in the journey of life. Word of man is not true to deliver but it is a proven deceiver.
Believe without doubt; look up to God and know that God is true to deliver. Keep looking up to God that there is no way to be ashamed. God is not a liar; the word of God is a true way to move forward. Word testified, “As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.” (Psalm 18:30) Do not be a failure by not looking up at His awesomeness. Look up at Him because there is none like Him. The book of Isaiah 64:3-4 confirmed rightly, “When You did awesome things for which we did not look, You came down, The mountains shook at Your presence. For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.” God is worthy to be looked up at all time.
God is a jealous God. (Exodus 34:14) Worshiping Him is looking up at Him. Worshiping Him is seeking Him and the word buttressed, “…If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.” (1 Chronicles 28:9) When a jealous God is looked up, His attention shall be activated. In His attention to man that look up at Him there is deliverance and preservation for man in this wicked world. The apostle Paul was forsaken; he experienced man’s abandonment but he stated, “And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!” (2Timoth 4:18)
In this wicked world of today, many worthless things surrounds man to look away from God. Do not look away from God, adapt to the word of God as it is written, “Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way.” (Psalm 119:37)
Prayer for today: Ask God to keep you looking up to Him alone.
