Look up child | Focus on heavenly things

-

     A while ago I found a song by Lauren Daigle called "Look Up Child". It has been played over and over again by me and my family members. If you want to listen to it click this link.

     So, as usual, I started writing this post a while ago, and I don't remember exactly what happened, but here's the gist of it. I asked myself the question, why am I doing this? What I was asking that about, I don't know. It was likely about schoolwork, college, stuff like that. I couldn't really think of one way doing it glorified GOD in any way. I thought, I'll fail and never get out of this misery. But God made me think about this: then don't worry about what will happen on earth. What can happen under the sun that will affect you in heaven? 

     And I knew the answer was nothing. My thinking was, but it doesn't matter because I am here on the earth, and I have to live through it now. But GOD says, "Then focus on heavenly things. Look up child."

  Stepping out on your own should be scary.      Everyone likes to go with the flow. Some people, like me, dream of doing things differently. We see these movies and videos everywhere about people who made a difference, a change in the world, by turning a different way from the rest of the world. What everyone else said was right might have been wrong. Or maybe people were making choices, but somebody realized there's a better way and acted on it. Whatever the reason, whether anyone stood by them or not, these people did what they thought was right. They went a new way.      Now being alone is scary. It's much easier to follow a path someone else has travelled than to pave your own. Have you ever wanted to step onto an unknown path, but instead planted your foot in dense jungle, so you immediately retreat back to the main road? Yeah! That unknown path you were looking for, it was created by somebody else. There's nothing unknown about it. And all the c...

Galations 5 | Burning Ships and Not Looking Back

 Does Burn the Ships Mean Forget the Past? (How do I not look back?)       Galations 5:1      For freedom CHRIST has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.      So all who have faith in JESUS, that he died for our sins and rose again so that one day, either when we die or on the last day, we he will bring us to life in heaven with Him, are free. All that believe in JESUS are free. But how do we stand firm? And what is a yoke of slavery?      Well, to answer the first question, let me say this: we cannot do any good thing, or even anything at all on our own. Standing firm requires faith and trust. According to biblekeeper.com, "Faith is the first step, where individuals choose to believe in GOD's promises and redemptive plan." "Trust is a deep belief and reliance on GOD's character, wisdom, and promises. It acts as a steadfast foundation,  particularly when faced with trials t...
