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.
What a neat chapter of Judges.
The reason I love this chapter is because it is here in this chapter
that we see the stern face of God. It is
here in this chapter that we see God tell the Hebrew people, “no.” So often we come to God with an, “Oh God,
give me” mentality. Sometimes we come to
God with an attitude that He will forgive anything we do and we take Him for
granted. Here in this chapter we hear
about a Hebrew people that create their own mess and God tells them to lie in
the bed that they’ve made.
This is such an awesome chapter!
God knows when He really is in our Up position and when we’re just
fooling Him. God knows when we really
want to submit to Him and when we just want Him to save us without really
changing us. God knows. He cannot be fooled or mocked. This is an awesome chapter to remind us why
it is important to have God in our Up position.
