Sometimes we just need to look up

“To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.
Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing." - (Isaiah 40: 25-26)

It is very easy to become bogged down in the trials of this life and to become so focused on all that is going wrong, that we forget how Big God truly is. This is why I love to look up into the night sky and to be reminded how small I am, and how Mighty God really is.

It's not inside, it's on TOP!

Do you remember the TV advert from the 1980's, that had the catch phrase:
"It's not inside, it's on top!?"

Can you remember what that advert was actually advertising? (if you can't remember scroll down to the end of the post to see what it was :)

Anyway, that old advert popped into my mind when I read this quote from C.S. Lewis:

 "A proud person is always looking down on people and things; and of course, as long as you are looking down, you can't see something that is above you."

Sometimes the issues and problems we are facing at the moment, make us drop our heads a little. We get a little down in the dumps and start to feel overwhelmed. If this relates to you today then can I invite you to 'look above you' - lift your head in prayer and ask God to guide you through this difficult time.

Job 22:26 - “Then you will take delight in the Almighty and look up to God.

P.S. - The answer is "Cremora" and the advert came out first in the 1980's.
