Gravity and Glory
Gravity pulls my body down while glory pulls my soul up!
Gravity is from the earth and its pull is downwards. Glory is from Heaven and its pull is upwards.
All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the spirits. - Proverbs 16:2
While Gravity gives us physical weight Glory gives us spiritual weight.
If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. - Colossians 3:1-4
Do not allow things of the earth that are affected by gravity cling to you, pulling your soul to depression.
As we start ageing and gravity seems to have more effect on our bodies, we should make sure that glory has more effect on our souls.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. - 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Remember! Glory is more valuable, lasting and more important!!
When the upward pull prevails and the downward pull gives way, there is breakthrough in our spiritual life.
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. - Romans 8:1-2
Let us be diligent to prepare ourselves for that day when gravity will no more have an effect not only over our souls but even our physical bodies, releasing us to ascend to glory!!
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
