“So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective.”Colossians 3:1-2 MSG
This scripture is challenging me! Right now Nepal’s government has fallen and the potential for anarchy to reign is present. Nepal has a king who stepped down for a democratically elected government to rule. However, the government was corrupt and has been overthrown by the youth of the country. Whilst the youth might prefer a more liberal leader the king may be what they get.
As of yesterday we were confined to our homes by a curfew, we spent a lot of time monitoring the outside situation on our phones. This scripture calls us to focus upwards. What is God doing in the midst of the chaos?
He has called us to prayer, to keeping our eyes on Him. Whilst much of the world is suffering similar fates, we can be thrust into turmoil if not careful to stay focused.
May a righteous government arise! Amen!
