I was in an ASDA shopping store recently, while picking up a few items I got an inspiration.
In ASDA just as it is in most superstores, the items for sale are displayed in rows which are on racks, these racks are categorized into different sections by the sign high above each section.
You have to look up to see the sign.
Sometimes we have to look a little higher.
Looking up makes you know the section to go to for the items you need, looking up determines your movement and direction, looking up determines what you buy and getting what you need and want.
If you don't look up, you may not get what you need.
It is possible to meander around the superstore and not find what you want or get what you need though it is available.
You could get discouraged or assume what you hoped to buy isn't available in store just because you couldn't find it, which is due to not looking up!
Look up, so you don't miss the signs.
Much like what could happen to people in superstores, life is like that.
Daily we shop in life.
We all aim to achieve or get what we want out of life, just like we do when we go shopping.
Through our choices and decisions, we are buying in the 'market of life'
We go shopping with a purpose, an aim, with the intention to buy what we want and need; we even write a list most times.
The shopping list shows we are organized.
The shopping list we put together helps us stay focused and disciplined when shopping, so we don't get distracted and spend on items that are not necessary.
In life, staying focused helps us stick to what is necessary, needful and wanted; much like the smart shopper who has a shopping list.
In this life, there are also those who unfortunately are like the shopper who is not organized and purposeful, they take or get out of life only what is available, what they see and what is within their reach instead of going for what they really want or need.
They don't find what they need or want, because they were either not organized or guided, or both!
They think what they need and want is not available, which is not true.
Just like the shopper who doesn't know there is an abundance of the items he or she wants and needs waiting to be picked up in the superstore, simply because they didn't look up to see the sign that lists where they can get what they want, many in this life are like that!
The wise men found the Messiah, the Christ, the Savior because they looked up!
They looked up and saw His Star.
His Star was His sign, showing them where He was.
They wanted to worship Him, see Him, and honor Him and they achieved their aim because they looked up.
In life, we have to look up.
To look up is to be guided by the Lord.
To look up is to be directed by the Lord.
To look up is to be rightly lead in life.
To look up is to be attuned to the Holy Spirit.
Looking up shows you where your needs will be met and your wants will be granted.
Look up, the Lord's sign is showing you where to go, which way to go and where your fulfillment is.
To look up is to follow the Spirit's leading.
To look up is to follow heavens strategy and plan.
Looking up helps you follow your own unique path in life.
Drivers who don't look up from time to time will break driving laws and get into trouble with the law.
Check with the Lord often to see if you are on track and headed in the right direction in life.
Drivers who don't look up will miss the traffic light, their signs.
Drivers who don't look up can head in the wrong direction because they'll miss the road signs which are often above showing them the direction to the part of town they are trying to get to.
Following the signs is important.
Signs are instructions, signs are pointers, they show us where to go and how to get there.
There is a sign you need to look up and see.
Look up, it is there.
Look up and follow the signs.
Look up and follow the Star.
Let's be wise like the wise men who traveled from the East to meet the Savior and look up and see the Star.
Wise men follow the Star!
For the believer, to look up is to look within.
For the believer, to look up is to be lead from the inside out for the Spirit is within us, the kingdom of God is within us and the Word of God should be stored in our hearts which is within us.
Look Up!
