“I will lift up mine eyes…” (Psalm 121:1)
We all go through trials and hard times. I almost lost the “love of my life” years ago, before we moved to Haiti. We had a dream and a vision, but it had not come to pass yet. Bobby and I were struggling, preaching, trying to find God’s will for our lives, when I discovered Bobby had a “strange looking spot” on his side! It was very hard to get him to go to a doctor, but he finally agreed. When the results came back, it was Melanoma, stage three. We had no insurance, so the doctor said, “It’s a major surgery but I’ll just have to operate here in my office.” I could not understand why Bobby had cancer, and yet, God had already had a plan for our lives on the mission field.
That day, he did “major surgery” on Bobby “in his office” with “only local anesthesia.” I “lifted up my eyes to my Lord” and prayed all the way through the surgery. Days later, the results came in… “no more cancer found.” Today, no matter what you are facing, “lift up your eyes” to the mighty God we serve, as this is where our help comes from. Have a blessed day.
