Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. — Gen 33:1

Do not lift up your eyes and look for Esaus. Those who look for troubles will not be long without finding trouble to look at. Lift them higher to Him from whom our help cometh. Then you will be able to meet your troubles with an unperturbed spirit. Those who have seen the face of God need not fear the face of man that shall die. To have power with God is to have power over all the evils that threaten us. — F. B. Meyer.
