Eyes Up

My child, look up! Lift your eyes and seek Me. It is time to stop focusing on your problems and start looking at Me. Am I not greater than your circumstances? Am I not the God of the impossible? When situations seem overwhelming and out of control, look up and see Me.

I ask you, what keeps you from staying focused on Me? What pulls you away? Don’t you know that I am the God who knows all things? Nothing takes Me by surprise. So, lift your eyes to Me and recognize that I have the answers. I can do abundantly more than you can even imagine. My Kingdom is limitless, and I can and will supply all your needs; however, you must keep your focus on Me.

Stay focused on Me and do not let the enemy or your emotions keep your head down. Refocus and keep your gaze on Me. Speak boldly about what I say regarding you and who I created you to be. It’s time to dream again, but this time I want you to dream with Me. Are you ready?

I want you to know that you are My desire and My delight. I rejoice over you with singing, and My banner over you is love. I keep you in My secret place because I long to be known by you. I want to assure you of My presence in your life and that I will never leave you nor forsake you. When things look difficult or you feel pressed from every side, refocus and fix your eyes on Me again. It’s time for you to come and behold all that I am.

Activation:

Take some time to meditate on 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 and 18. Ask the Lord where you need to refocus your attention. Whenever you find your focus shifting to negativity, circumstances, or problems, say out loud to yourself, “Eyes up, eyes up!” and remind yourself of these scriptures. 

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NLT)

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4:18 (NLT)

So, we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

Hebrews 12:2 (NLT)

We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
