Above (Galatians 4:26, ESV)

But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. (Galatians 4:26, ESV)

Today, I want to share with you a very short, but very important devotional practice I call "looking up." If heaven is above as Paul says, then we should look up. First of all, yes, I mean this literally. Everyday, look at the sky. Look throughout the day. Look at night. Think about heaven. Look up (literally).

I also mean this figuratively. Look for the higher things. Look for the better things. Listen to great music. Read great books. Talk to great people. Think higher thoughts. Do excellent work. Praise excellent work in others. Look up (figuratively speaking). 

Spend today looking up literally (see the sky) and figuratively (reach for the stars).
