Going forward. Climbing up. One step followed by another prevents a fall. As we walk with Jesus our best foot is the one that takes us forward and into a closer relationship with Him. He is calling us to lay down every idol in our lives, and even in our thoughts. Anything that we want more than God is an idol and it has to go. When we cast these things down, He will direct our lives into His glory. Everything that we will ever need resides within His glory.
Jesus extended this invitation to John the Apostle after He had revealed the state of the churches down through the ages:
“After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, ‘Come up here’, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” Revelation 4:1 (NKJV)
The Lord showed John what would come to pass in the last days. At times John must have been overwhelmed as he tried to describe what he was seeing with the limited knowledge of his day. Seeing airplanes and missiles, he could only think of animals that resembled them. For example, perhaps he described a helicopter as a scorpion.
Our wonderful God has told us everything that we need to know in this present time. Our newspapers read like what He showed to John. Everything that is coming upon our earth has been foretold in Scripture. If we are blood-bought saints of His we need not fear anything but Him. He is our sun and shield: a very present help in trouble.
