Looking Down
I have learned over the years to watch where my feet are going. If I’m not careful and I look too far forward, I might stumble or step into a hole. Every now and then I will find a coin on the ground. If I look down constantly, I might run into a tree as well. I think it’s wise to keep my head up but glance downward every now and then to see where my feet are planted. I want to look upward to God as God looks down upon me. I want to seek Him with my whole heart while walking and living upon the earth. I want to be wise in the Lord’s eyes as He looks upon my heart from His dwelling place. Check this out….
1 Only fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
not one of them does good!
2 The Lord looks down from heaven
on the entire human race;
he looks to see if anyone is truly wise,
if anyone seeks God.(Psalm 14:1-2 NLT)
I’m not wise on my own merit or anything that I’ve done or can do. If I’m wise, it’s because the Lord rules my heart and directs my steps. I would rather be a “dimwit” in the eyes of others, but wise in God’s eyes because I seek Him.
I want to lead my family in wisdom that comes from the Lord.
I want to lead my company in wisdom that comes from the Lord.
I want to walk each day in wisdom that comes from the Lord.
When the Lord looks down upon my heart, I want Him see His reflection in the mirror of my soul.
Pressing On!
