When we transition into adulthood, we grow out of many things we once did as a children.  Rightfully so.

As a child, I would just look up.  I would look up in amazement of the colorful blue hues in the sky.  I was in amazement of the stars, the sun, the moon, the clouds, the rain, and rainbows.  I have always been amazed by my surroundings, especially nature and my love for being outside.

Still Looking Up

 

As an adult, I’m still looking up.

I still look up in amazement of the beauty that spans across our skies.  However, I now look up in amazement and awe for who created the natural and beautiful artwork.  Frankly, it is unfathomable!

No matter what I am going through, good or bad, I look up.

I don’t look up out of arrogance or conceit.  I will never look up to ignore the present problems of our world.  I look up because there’s no sense in looking back, looking side to side, or even looking forward.

I look up because of the importance of my vertical relationship.  I look up for the hope that lies before me. I look up to find the positive in everything.  I look up to see things from God’s perspective.

Why Look Up?

 

It is important to look up to turn your attention to things that matter most; to examine your expectations.  Looking up can give you a new or different sense of direction.

So, give it a try.  Take some time today, everyday, to step outside and bask in the glory around you; breathe in your surroundings and look up!

Look up to God!
