There are a lot of things in life that can get you down. And many people accept being down as an unwelcome but inevitable fact of life.  They even excuse being down as being “Ok under the circumstances.”  What if you didn’t have to live under the circumstances?  What if God wanted you to live above them?  The Bible says,
