This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. I'm so glad that you found us today and whether you're at home or in your car.

We're so glad that you're here and we pray that God will give you hope in times of difficulty.

Rick is taking us through the book of Daniel and that's so we'll be equipped to handle whatever curveball life throws at us, even the most

difficult trials.

All right, so let's join Rick for the final part of this fascinating message called When God

Test You with Success.

Number one, write this down.

Three steps to recovery after failure.

First, look up to God.

Look up to God. up to god and the bible says in daniel four verse 34 uh at this time after this time had passed you know when he had lost his

his mind i nebuchadnezzar he's given the testimony this chapter is his. I Nebuchadnezzar looked up to heaven

and my sanity returned. Literally, it says in the Hebrew, he lifted up his eyes to heaven. Do you need to do that today?

Some of you've never taken this first step. You're in a heap of trouble right now you're in a mess

you're in a mess in your life it's going the wrong way but you're looking to everything else and

everybody else to solve it you're looking to other people you're looking to the government

you're looking to yourself you expect your husband or your wife to solve it, whatever.

You're in a mess.

You need to look up to God.

You need to get your eyes on heaven.

Refocus on God.

Not be looking at anything and everybody else.

Now, by the way, sometimes God has to lay you flat on your back to get you to look up. I hope he doesn't have to do that to you. Just do this now.
