Sky of a thousand
shades of blue
How I long
to gaze at you
Sea of azure
in the sky
Your wonder clouds
go swimming by
Sky light, sky bright
always keeping
Him in sight
His glory shines
on everything
Oh, how Your beauty
makes me sing!

Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things. 1 Chronicles 29:11
The day always goes much more smoothly when I look up. The moment I allow my thoughts to go astray, nothing good comes from it. My mini van didn’t want to start this morning. Immediately, I began to panic. I detest car (or in my case, mini van) troubles. I don’t know a thing about cars. But isn’t it crazy that we can trust our cars to take us here, there, and everywhere without knowing much of anything about them and how they work?
In my moments of panic, He reminded me of this- how often I put my hope in worldly things to meet my needs when they often fail me. Cars, appliances, circumstances…even in other people.
So I looked up. I gazed into the sky and handed Him my worries. He will meet my needs. It’s not if– but when– my van fails me, I trust that He will provide the help I need. It’s not if- but when– my appliances break, when someone hurts me, when life and relationships get messy- He is there. And in Him, there’s always hope!
And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in You. Psalm 39:7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6
