Exodus 16:10

They looked ..... and there was the glory of the Lord appearing in the cloud.

One should get into the habit of looking for the silver lining of storm clouds. And once you have found it, continue to focus on it rather than the dark gray of the center. Do not yield to discouragement no matter how severely stressed or surrounded by problems you may be. A discouraged soul is in a helpless state, being neither able to 'stand against the devil's schemes' himself nor able to prevail in prayer for others. Flee every symptom of the deadly foe of discouragement as you would run from a snake. Never be slow to turn your back on it, unless you desire to eat at the dust of bitter defeat.

Keep looking up -
The waves that roar around your feet,
Jehovah-Jireh will defeat
When looking up.

Keep looking up -
Though darkness seems to wrap your soul;
The Light of Light will fill your soul
When looking up.

Keep looking up -
When worn, distracted with the fight;
Your Captain gives you conquering might
When you look up.
