What are you doing right now? Looking down maybe? I look down a lot during a days time. I find that most of the things that consist of a persons day require looking down these days...
- computer work
- computer play
- eating
- crossword puzzles
- reading
- changing a diaper
- talking to children
- weeding the garden
- checking the oil in the car
- writing a letter
- cooking dinner
- setting the table
- helping with homework
Have you looked up recently and realized how tight the muscles on your throat are? Try it, Sit up straight and then tip your head back and look at the ceiling. Close your mouth and feel the stretch on those muscles.
I find that as our society races through life and finds new technology that we are folding in on ourselves. Literally. We are losing our good posture, our eye contact, and our ability to face life with head held high. We slouch, and slump. We let technology take care of it. We sit, or lounge, we stay indoors. We are folding ourselves over into balls. Into little ME-Space, MY world balls.
Do you know what we will be doing in heaven someday? No, not looking down at our loved ones from the sky, not even looking down for a great ariel view. No, in heaven we will always be looking up. Our attention will be captured by God's greatness and glory and we will be looking up to him and worshiping him. You won't be able to to look down when in the presence of God.
I challenge you to analyze your lifestyle right now. Do you find yourself slumping over into yourself and your own prideful thoughts? Putting yourself as god in your life? Look up to heaven even from your position on earth and give God glory. We are in dress rehearsal now for the day when we will be in the presence of God worshipping Him in heaven for all eternity.
