FAITH CAPSULE: Look up to God and His agent who will come your way from the Way. 

Psalm 121, Acts 3: 1-11
 
In the face of every challenging issue it really does not matter where we are or how long it has been but it does matter who we are looking up to. When challenges rise like stormy water, when one begins to be tossed by the waves, it becomes absolutely necessary not to look up to man but God. Man will fail but God never fail. To whom are you looking up to? Just as it is important to look up to God in challenging times, it is worthy to make looking up to God in time of no challenges become our custom. Looking up to God is giving God all the attention that will provoke God to attend to us.The Psalmist says, “I will lift up my eyes to the hills- from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.”(Psalm 121:1-2)The promise of deliverance and preservation in lifting up eyes to God is worth enough to not wait till challenges come before making looking up to God a custom.
The Bible says that Abraham looked up to Him and he was helped. The man lame from his mother’s womb, also took no exception in looking up and receiving. The lame man begging for alms at the gate of the Temple which is called Beautiful, spotted Peter and John and lifted up his eyes for the purpose of looking. All he could do was to look and fixate his eyes on them. Fixation the evidence of expectation will provoke manifestation. Acts 3:4testifies about John and Peter’s reaction to the blind man from his mother’s womb, “And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, Look at us.” The lame man looked as it was required of him. In the next verse, it is written, “So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.” In your waiting for provision from God, have you been looking? God perhaps will not come down from heaven, but He has many agents that He can bring to your attention. When he sends you an agent will you be able to look up to receive? It is in where you are and how you are looking that will bring forth a way into your miracle of provision. When you look, let there be a fixation. Fix your heart on Jesus the Healing healer and your eyes will be able to see God’s agent at work. Attention will bring forth expectation to receive. Trust God and do not stop looking for His agent who will come your way from the Way.
 
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to trust on God with all your heart, and to never lean on man.
