Lift up your eyes.

Do not say, there are four months still and then the harvest comes.  Behold I say to you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, they are white unto harvest.  John 4:35  Everywhere you turn we hear bad news.  No one sees any new jobs on the horizon.  All that I hear is predictions of poverty and lack, but Jesus said that we should see beyond what is to see what could be.  Harvest was four months away, but he said that there was a harvest of souls that was right around the corner.  In the OT David said to "lift up your eyes to the hills where your help comes from."  It's time for us to change our focus, and lift up our eyes.  Don't keep looking down at the mud.  Don't keep looking at every obstacle.  Lift up your eyes.  Adjust your vision upward.  There are days of abundance that will come to those who are looking for them.  During the last recession (80's)  a couple of techies started Microsoft.  Bill Gates was looking beyond what was to what could be.  The challenge today is to lift up your eyes and see a positive future.
