Things Above Thought
TAT 128 Looking Up
Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. (Col. 3:2)
And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:9-11)
And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. (Matt. 24:30)
I have started a new habit; everyday I make it a point to gaze, not just look, into the sky. Where is He? Will He come today? Will I be one of the first to see the sign? These three things I know: 1. All the answers to all my problems and my savior will come from above not through humans, or human agencies, on this earth (Mat. 24). 2. I don’t look up (gaze) near enough. 3. No matter what your beliefs about the end times His return is a solid, factual, real promise. This will happen!
So if these are the end times then stop looking around, wondering what is going on, and start gazing up.
Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. (Col. 3:2)
