Look to Him

     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)
