The Three Looks

By David Fryer

To look around is to be distressed.
To look within is to be depressed.
To look above is to be blessed.

When we look around we see anxiety, unrest and uncertainty and nothing that can bring comfort, hope and peace to us. The world is upside down with problems and troubles the greatest and wisest of men can not solve - the days are evil. (Eph.5:16). For the most part the world rejects Christ and the Scriptures foretold "perilous times shall come". 2 Tim.3:1.

Now when we look within we might just see what God sees: "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked-who can know it?" Jer. 17:9. To look within is to be depressed.

But to look above where Christ sitteth is to be blessed. We have been accepted in the beloved, in Christ we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Eph.1:6,7), and we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ. (Eph.1:3.)
