look up

While Aaron was speaking to the whole Israelite community, they looked toward the desert, and there was the glory of the Lord appearing in the cloud.

- Exodus 16:10

 

I kind of wish that this verse said that they looked up. 

The whole community was frustrated at this point, having left Egypt and they were about a month and a half into their travels, feeling like they would have rather died in Egypt than going to the desert to “starve to death”. 

The Bible says that the Lord hear their grumblings and said He would provide food, and as Aaron and Moses were explaining this, the Lord appeared in the cloud.

God was there the whole time, the Israelites just needed to look up!

Song reference!

Where are You now

When darkness seems to win?

Where are You now

When the world is crumbling?

Oh I, I-I-I, I hear You say

I hear You say

Look up child, ayy

Look up child, ayy

Where are You now (where are You?)

When all I feel is doubt?

Oh, where are You now

When I can't figure it out?

Oh I, I-I-I, I hear You say

I hear You say

Look up child, ayy

Look up child, ayy

Look up child, ayy

Look up child, ayy

Look up

You're not threatened by the war

You're not shaken by the storm

I know You're in control

Even in our suffering

Even when it can't be seen

I know You're in control

Oh I, I-I-I, I hear You say

I hear You say

Look up child, ayy

Look up child, ayy

Look up

It is really that simple, folks.

When we don’t think that He is there, He is! 

We just have to look up.

When we are feeling alone, in the dark, feeling doubt, feeling like the world is falling apart around us, we just have to look up.

He is there.

Always.

Look up.
