"Look now toward heaven...” This is always God’s way. He takes us from the small surroundings of our tent, and shows us the sky. He brings us out of our prisons, so to speak, and, as David said, sets our feet in a large place.
God’s desire for each of us is that we might see the height and breadth of things. Most of us are too nearsighted. As Peter tells us in his second Epistle, there are those who cannot see afar off.
God wants us to trade our pup tents for the heavens. Within our self-imposed seclusion, we are too little to do anything big. Our Spiritual lives are lived within the confines of our little tent. We no longer see men and women of God with great aspirations and expectations. No, we prefer to live within the four walls of our man-made canvass tent, with our little god.
Our walk with God needs to be under the unrestricted vastness of Heaven—not in a six-by-six cell. If we are to be companions of God, our scope needs to be as great as the heavens themselves. “Look now toward heaven.”
