Morning Meds, Day 26


Sparrow, Part 4

I was happy to take a break from my little Sparrow friend last week because, quite frankly, it's not my favorite topic. However, it is the definition of where I'm at and what I'm learning, and today I am literally practicing what I'm preaching at the same time!

Hebrews 12:2 says "looking unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right of the throne of God." He did it so we knew we'd have to as well. When I think of having to endure something, I know I'm going to have to watch out for my attitude. By "despising the shame," literally turning up our nose at the humility of our state, we pull from deeper purposes and broader visions. This is the nature of spirituality. Seeing the unseen like Jesus did.

My prayer today is that God would clean my internal glasses. That He would enable me to violently close my eyes to the world around me to see and hear with my heart.  Jesus didn't stay on the cross or in the grave...what men think is your final hour is your re-birthing canal. And I will endure sparrow living and fly on its wings to the other side.
