10…Looking Up

Good morning! Have you ever traveled in a motor home? If not, could I suggest you put that one on your Bucket List? It’s cool to be able to get up and fix a drink or get a snack while you are still going down the road, or even use the restroom. Besides the comfort of traveling in one, you sit up so high when you ride in a motor home that you see things from a whole new perspective.

As I was noticing things I wouldn’t have been able to see if I was traveling in a car, I thought about how God sees things. When He looks down on all His creations, He sees things from a unique vantage point that we will never have. He can look above all our circumstances because He sees the bigger picture.

God encourages us to see things the way He does. He wants us to let the light of His presence fill us so that we view the world through His eyes. Jesus said in John 8:12:

“I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

It wouldn’t be practical for us to ride around town in a motor home to run our errands, but we can still keep that same perspective by simply looking up. Looking down or at our challenges doesn’t produce a good fix to our problems. It’s only when we look up to our Heavenly Father that we can maintain the right perspective. So, here’s to keeping our eyes fixed on the One who sits higher than all!
