At the Bottom Looking Up
Yeah, you've been there, haven't you? At the bottom of the finances, the family politics, the relationship you've worked so hard to maintain, the project you spent so much time on? It's easy for me, at the bottom, to look down instead of up; to focus on the depth of the mess I'm in, and be overwhelmed. One time, at the bottom, I decided I needed a song to sing that would help me remember to look up instead of down when I get in a pickle. It's actually helped me a lot to reach into my heart for this song and sing it aloud. It's usually right there, at the bottom, that God's hand reaches out in obvious deliverance.
