Daily Devotional “Look Up In Faith” By Max Lucado

ChristianNews

Be anxious for nothing, but look up in faith!

Faith! We can calmly take our concerns to God because he is as near as our next breath! 

Matthew 14: 13-21

This was the reassuring message from the miracle of the bread and fish. In an event crafted to speak to the anxious heart, Jesus told his disciples to do the impossible: feed five thousand people. Now, you aren’t facing five thousand hungry bellies, but you might be facing a deadline in two days or a loved one in need of a cure.

Hebrews 12:2

On one hand you have a problem. On the other you have a limited quantity of wisdom, patience, or time. Typically, you’d get anxious. You’d tell God, “You’ve given me too much to handle.” This time, instead of focusing on what you don’t have, start with Jesus. Start with his wealth, his resources, and his strength. Before you lash out in fear, look up in faith. Turn to your Father for help!
