It whispers that God forgot you or that your best days are behind you. But the Scripture says God is actually <em>closer<\/em> to you in the &#8220;crushed&#8221; moments than at any other time. Rising above doesn&#8217;t mean ignoring the pain; it means realizing that a &#8220;No&#8221; from the world is often a &#8220;Hidden Yes&#8221; from God for something better. Don&#8217;t let a detour convince you that the destination is gone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Work the Word<\/strong><br><strong>The &#8220;Look Up&#8221; Pivot:<\/strong> Today, every time you think about that &#8220;missed&#8221; opportunity or disappointment, physically look up at the sky. Say: <em>&#8220;Lord, I don&#8217;t see the whole picture, but I know You are near.
