Look Up, Even When It’s Hard

By Kari Smalley Gibson, TP Community Storyteller

Back in 2019, I didn’t even know what the word eschatology meant. Anyone else feel like that? Then I found Tipping Point.

The teaching on Bible prophecy completely changed the way I read Scripture, view the world, and understand the times we’re living in. What once felt confusing (and a little scary) suddenly became filled with clarity, urgency, and hope.

One of my favorite reminders Pastor Jimmy Evans often shares—and the title of one of his books—is this simple phrase: “Look up.”

At first, I didn’t fully understand what that meant. But over the years, those two words have become an anchor for my heart.

Luke 21:28 (NLT) says, “So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!”

Jesus spoke those words while describing difficult end-time events. He wasn’t telling believers to panic. He was reminding us to lift our eyes with confidence and expectation because our redemption is drawing near.

But what does “looking up” actually look like when life hurts?

Recently, our prayer team received a message from a woman asking us to pray for her husband. Their marriage was struggling, but even deeper than that, she was carrying a burden for his salvation. You could feel both the heartbreak and hope in her words. She wasn’t asking us to pray for an easy life—she was asking us to pray for eternity to touch her home.

And even through the pain, she said something powerful: “I’m not giving up.” She’s still praying.

Still believing.

Still trusting.

Still looking up.

Not long after that, another woman reached out asking us to pray for her sister who was battling terminal cancer. Doctors had told the family there were only days left, but they were still believing God for a miracle.

The following day, we received another message. Her sister had gone home to be with Jesus. Even through deep grief, the family shared their gratitude that she was no longer suffering and asked us to continue praying for her husband and young daughter.

As a prayer team, moments like that stay with you.

Because sometimes this side of heaven doesn’t unfold the way we desperately hoped it would. Sometimes healing comes here. And sometimes healing comes fully and forever in the presence of Jesus.

But even then—we look up.

We look up by praying for grieving families.

We look up by carrying one another’s burdens.

We look up by reminding each other that this world is not our home.

That’s the heartbeat of this community.

Not pretending life is easy.

Not ignoring pain.

But choosing hope anyway because Jesus is coming soon. And until that day, we will keep praying, trusting, encouraging, watching, and lifting our eyes together.
