An Upside Down World


“...But because you say so...”

Luke 5:5 selected





Your world turned upside down...

...not a very fun place is it?

Maybe it was the unexpected doctor’s report.

Perhaps it’s’ the perpetually negative numbers in the checkbook.

Could it be strife in the home or any host of other things?

No matter – it’s not what you expected for this season of your life.

Jesus’ disciples faced a confusing and frightening time after His death.

He told them he would die and rise again.

But their minds were so pre-occupied with Messianic rescue that they didn’t always hear what Jesus said.

Sometimes our ears are blocked in the same way.  

We celebrate His resurrection but forget His words to us that He has given us abundant life.

We are under the gun of a hectic 24/7 existence and don’t even have to time to think let alone contemplate what life would be like if we simply took Jesus at His word.

Why not slow down enough today to do just that...

...take Jesus at His word.

Don’t just read the words on the page:

Let His Holy Spirit breathe His breath of life into you.

Your world will be turned upside down in all the right ways!
