Recently during a Sunday morning church service, I watched a small child walk up the steps of the musicians platform. As the little boy walked up the steps I noticed his little head was tilted upward toward his goal. His goal I believed to be was the musicians that sounded like something from heaven.
He never stumbled, he never wavered, he just climbed up, further and further to his goal. When this small child of maybe 2yrs of age reached his goal he raised his hands to the heavens and celebrated with a huge smile plastered across his face. The child then turned around and put his head down, looked back from where he came from and began his journey back to the beginning from where he started, but this time he needed to hold on to the railing to go back, all the while being unsure of his steps. The little boy reached the bottom but on his face was no smile of celebration but a look of un fulfillment.
In a flash of a moment the little boy decided the beginning was not for him so he with a blissful smile headed back up again with no help from the railing but with a focused determination for the top step.
So with his eyes lifted high he began his journey and again when he arrived he celebrated with dance and praise with his arms held high!
Revelation: when we keep our eyes on Jesus and Heavenly things our journey is easier, we reach our goal with joy and praise. when we look back we must hold onto earthly things to get us through.
What are you or I holding on to that we need to let go of? What must it take to turn our faces around to heaven and to achieve our goals?
Matthew 18:3 says to become like the children, trusting, loving, forgiving, to turn about.
Let us raise our heads toward heaven and climb toward him! Not staying focused on the
