Who do you look to when things don't go your way? Who do you run to when your world has been turned upside down? Who do you count on when your best friend thinks your crazy or do you turn to someone you think you can trust only to find out they no longer want anything to do with you because some rumor has been started about you that could be furthest from the truth.
Or maybe a family member has betrayed you or maybe your in over your head dealing with a love one who has been diagnosed with cancer or some other form of sickness and you think your world is over. Or maybe you are being forced to lay down something that holds the deepest part of your soul. Or maybe you are dealing with stupid people and their games and you've had enough and your wondering when the game will turn on them so there will finally be justice.
Or maybe your lonely. No one understands you. No one cares. When was the last time someone really listened to you? Or maybe your in over your head because of the choices you've made and the person your with don't believe the way you believe. Or maybe you think the God of this universe has forgotten all about you and has left you in this wilderness to walk around without a way of getting out.. Maybe you just need answers.
I can tell you, I can relate in all the above situations. However, these last few months have been the worst and the best of my life. I have had to deal with the death of my brother while asking where were you, Lord. I am not ashamed of asking God where He's been in my life because I know in time, He will answer all my questions with one of His own...did you really look to Me for the solutions to your life’s problems? Finally after all these years, it took the death of my brother and everything that has come after it, for me to finally get what He has been trying to tell me for years.
My answer, my epiphany came in the form of a song. Here are the lyrics and my hope and prayer is you will also find your answer and know that the only thing left to do is to look to Him. For He is everything you and I need in any circumstances.
Look to Him
I know the Bible says
When You've done all you can to stand just stand
and I know it's hard sometimes
to look through those tear stained eyes
and still see the scars in those hands
but just you keep this in mind, when hope seems so hard to find
surely you've not reached the end
when the whole world has let you down
Jesus can still be found
When you've tried it all
Look to Him
Look to Him, for He only
when sorrow makes lonely
and the day and the night close in
He can vanish the midnight
and He'll call back your sunlight
How will it end
Look to Him
Now I know that questions can
Lord they can seem so hard to understand but then
But I know someone who knows it all
His eyes see even that little sparrow fall
Yet He can hold back the sea with just one hand
He's so big He rides on the wind that blows
Yet in your heart the only one that knows
the heartache and all the trouble you're in
When life seems everything but good
Remember Him cause He's the only one that could
If you'd only dare
Look to Him
(repeat chorus)
