"It's so much easy to look but very hard to see.
They say; "Look up and live!", I did and found nothing but blue skies whose misery had made it lose some of its colors.
Just as I have lost mine..."
God isn't ordinary, so looking up to Him shouldn't be ordinary, right?
When Moses asked the Israelites to "look up", The pole which he held had the same serpent that bit them.
The same serpent!
The serpent they supposedly dreaded and wished so much to kill.
That was what they had to see, to live.
Isn't that crazy enough to be classed "extraordinary"?
You're not always gonna have what you want while looking up to God.
You're not always gonna see what you wanna see while looking up to God.
The sky isn't gonna change it's face because you have chosen to look up.
You're not guaranteed a life free of struggles because you look of to Him.
It's more of the spiritual.
Here,
You're not seeing the blue skies that has lost his "blueness".
You are seeing a future which only your Creator knows about.
An assurance.
A reason.
A hope.
His promises.
His love
His care.
His glory.
His light.
His peace.
His freedom.
His safe.
It's like looking into the eyes of a lover. It gets really hard to look away. Emotions, butterflies...
Those feelings weren't just ignited by His eyes or Her eyes but something beyond that.
That How looking unto God is.
Because you know He is the one for you.
He is mighty enough to save you.
You don't wanna look away.
You don't see the skies but a master who holds your hands and promises that you will be fine.
And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night?
Will he keep putting them off?
I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Luke 18:7-8 NIV
Hold onto Jesus.
Do not faint.
May the peace of God be with us as we look unto Him, in Jesus' Name.
Amen.
