The Journey of up

Wednesday, September 7, 2022

Several decades ago, at this time of year, Israel became a nation again, with Jewish people returning to their ancient homeland. They made "aliyah." Aliyah tells you where your life is to be heading. The Gospels always speak of Yeshua, Jesus going UP to Jerusalem - always UP. Jerusalem, was set on the Judean hills, but more importantly, when you're going to God you always go up. The journey was called aliyah, the journey of ascending. Whenever someone goes to the Holy Land, it's said they're "making aliyah." If you go to Israel, or from Israel to Jerusalem, you're making aliyah. If you're born again, your life is now to become a spiritual aliyah. Your direction is UP, heavenward. Apostle Paul would write of pressing on in the "upward" call. You, too, have an upward call. Every day, you have a choice between a higher and lower step. So every day, choose always the higher step over the lower, the more heavenly over the less. Dare to go for the highest. You'll be amazed at what happens to your life - going up - making aliyah.
