Discipleship Focus: Up
- Up: Up is the word we use for what we worship. If we are following God’s will, God will occupy the Up position. Our life, our identity, our mission, our family on mission is all derived from Up. This is why God needs to be in our Up position.
In Leviticus 15 we have a great opportunity to get in touch with
our creator. I know what you’re
thinking. How can we go from bodily
discharges, semen, and menstruation to the creator? Actually, the leap isn’t all that hard.
I believe that the closest we can come to seeing through the eyes
of a creator is in our sexual nature.
When man comes together with woman and new life is formed, it can feel
very much like creation. However, it is
not the man and woman who are creating life; God is creating that new
life. God is acting through two people
to bring new life into view.
The question that we have to ask ourselves in that moment is how
we relate to God. Do we in that moment
act as though God is the source of our identity or do we think of only our own
needs and desires? Do we see ourselves
in those moments as the masters of our own destiny and the creator of life or
do we still see ourselves as God’s servants knowing that He is in full control?
