Where are you looking?

"Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward" (Genesis 13:14). Are we looking all around us for opportunities to spread the name of Christ? I often find myself getting so focused on the tasks at hand that I forget to "lift up my eyes unto the hills from whence comes my help."

We should be continually asking Him to lift up our eyes from the entanglements of this world to see the true mission at hand. "Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel" (Philippians 1:27).
