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 great chapter on Up.
Imagine, if you will, all the important leaders of an area walking around
their area and worshipping God as they do it.
Imagine the prayers they could pray over such an area. Imagine the testimony and witness that it
gives to anyone who is watching about what those leaders really think is the
most important thing in their life.
That is what Up is all about.
That is what it means to be devoted to God. Having God in our Up position means that we
are indeed giving a witness that God is the focal point of our life and God is
the center of our worship.
And where do we see this great chapter of Up leading? The moment of Up brings the people
together. That’s In. The moment of Up drives the people forth in
service to God. That’s Out. A properly developed Up naturally leads to a
meaningful In and Out.
