UP
When the going gets tough
The faithful look UP
Up to where the eagles fly
Up to the Lord on high
When the road gets hard
The faithful keep climbing
Up to where the Spirit lives
Up to where the angels sing
When the future looks bleak
The faithful press on
Up to the Cross that promises life
Up to where the Savior died
When heaven's skies are dark
The faithful trust in God's love
Assured in their redeemed heart
The only way to look is UP
When the going gets tough
The faithful look UP
Up to where the eagles fly
Up to the Lord on high
When the road gets hard
The faithful keep climbing
Up to where the Spirit lives
Up to where the angels sing
When the future looks bleak
The faithful press on
Up to the Cross that promises life
Up to where the Savior died
When heaven's skies are dark
The faithful trust in God's love
Assured in their redeemed heart
The only way to look is UP

Eternal Perspective
When you begin to see heaven as your true home, you can
develop an eternal perspective that sees all sorrows as passing.
"It is possible to trust God in all things," says Dr. Joseph Stowell.
"You may have a hard time getting there, but you won't get there
unless you believe in the world to come. If this is all you have,
if it's just this world, then bitterness is your only option.
"But if you believe that there is a God who is higher than you are
and wiser than you are, and He has a world prepared for you where
all Christians will be together again and be with Him in absolute joy
and bliss, then that brings strength to your sorrow."
Place your trust in God and in His preparations and plans for you.
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have
told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me
that you also may be where I am" (John 14:1-3).
Lord and Savior, I trust that You will someday bring me home to live
in heaven with You. For now, I need to try and look at my sorrows in
light of eternity. The things of this world are much clearer
when I have a higher perspective. Amen.
