Journey with Jesus – When Everything Goes Wrong You Look Somewhere — 

Make Sure It's Up


In this honest and redirecting message, you'll be asked one of the 

most revealing questions a person in a difficult season can face — 

when things aren't going right in your life, who do you actually 

look to first? Not who do you eventually get around to, not who do 

you turn to after everything else has failed, but who gets your very 

first look when the bottom drops out and life stops cooperating. For 

most people in most hard seasons the honest answer is not God. It is 

other people, other opinions, other strategies, other sources of 

comfort, and other places of refuge — all of them reached before the 

One who actually has the answer, the authority, and the ability to 

fix what is going wrong. The direction of your first look in a crisis 

reveals everything about where your trust actually lives.


This episode encourages you to examine honestly where your eyes go 

first when life falls apart and make the deliberate decision to 

retrain your instinctive response — so that the first place you look 

when things go wrong is up. When the crisis hits and every human 

instinct pulls your eyes sideways toward people, solutions, and 

distractions, that's your signal to lift your eyes deliberately and 

immediately to the One from whom your help has always and only ever 

truly come. Look up first. Look up fast. And keep looking up until 

the answer comes — because it always does, from the only direction 

it was ever going to come from.


No matter how wrong things are going or how many places you have 

already looked without finding the answer right now, take comfort 

in this truth: your help does not come from the hills, from other 

people, or from your own best efforts — it comes from the Lord, the 

Maker of heaven and earth, and He has never once run out of it.


🎧 Listen now and be redirected to the only One who has ever truly 

had the answer to everything going wrong in your life — and learn 

to look to Him first, every single time.


"I lift up my eyes to the mountains — where does my help come from? 

My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." 

— Psalm 121:1-2 (NIV)
