Beloved Servant
Look up
Ask yourself, "Am I serious about living this new resurrected life?" If so, this is where it starts...
Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up...
When we are looking down, eyes to the ground...
We get absorbed with the things right in front of us. In other words, we get absorbed with things of lesser meaning.
We lose sight of the big picture.
We get self-absorbed in our problems.
We don’t see things through God’s eyes.
We worry too much.
We stress too much.
But when we look up everything changes...
Our perspective changes.
We see farther.
We see the big picture.
We see the possibilities.
We see the opportunities.
We see the goodness and the bigness of God.
We define looking up as “living a life of worship.†The shift I’m hoping to help people make is to think of worship as something we do every day, throughout the day, all day. To incorporate a daily and constant habit of looking UP into our everyday life. We aren’t designed to operate on a weekly worship cycle but on a “moment by moment connection†of personal worship that becomes as much a part of our lives as the air we breathe.
The old hymn says it like this: â€Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in his wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his Glory and Grace.â€
If you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up.
Colossians 3:1-3 (MSG)
