I recently saw this tweet, which quoted Misty Edwards (IHOP worship leader), saying, "Everything under the sun is vanity...so I will live above the sun." :)
I occasionally fall into my "Ecclesiastes" moods. Peter, my youngest brother, bears the brunt of it(I'm afraid it's a case of proximity- sorry Peter!).The joy of living is sucked out of my expression like dust bunnies being licked up from under our couch. In others words, it isn't pretty.
"So I will live above the sun." Selah.
This is the fear of the Lord: to know that He sees, He cares, and He responds. I desire to live where He lives, because true life and meaning comes from knowing Him. In a world that desires to inebriate me with passing pleasures, wisdom manifests itself when I start living in and for the sight of the One I love. His love strengthens me to work harder than those who are enslaved to fleeting passions. Love for Jesus compels and sustains my joy, turning every task, into an offering of love for the eyes of One.
"So I will live above the sun." Selah.
