Get On The Roof

Saturday, May 8, 2021

Most of our homes have slanted roofs which are very hard to stand on. But in biblical times, most houses had flat roofs. It was easy to get up on the roof and pray as Peter did. Most people treat their problems as ceilings, roofs, and barriers over their heads, which block their view and limit them. In the Bible, ceilings weren't just ceilings but floors. That's a key. Stop praying on the wrong side of your problems. Get above your problem. Go up the steps, get on the roof and stand on top of it. Lift your eyes to heaven and make your problem your floor. The problem is there to get you back into God's presence. Remember, the ceiling in the Bible was also the floor. God doesn't want you overwhelmed by your problem. He wants you to use it to get closer to Him. Stop looking at your problem as a ceiling and start using it as a floor from which to pray. And the only roof over your head will be the heavens! rn
