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)
 
Lord, we thank you that you for the blessings that you have given us. Help us to honor you in every part of our lives. We place this request at your throne. Please hear and reply according to your perfect will and timing. Grant us the peace to know that you are in control. In Jesus Name. Amen.
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
