Up There

Its been awhile since i had one of these expositions, but hey...


It has also been awhile since I climbed a really tall tree, but thankfully that has been made up for by tall buildings in Nairobi's city center, so whenever I feel like having a height (ened) experience, I simply go to the 7th floor of the Norwich union house. Works for me anyway.

The reason why I mention it is because I think it's an experience everyone should have. Standing up there looking down at the city gives you quite a different view of the usually packed street. No pollution, no litter, no people bumping into you or anything. Besides, one can see for miles in every direction...


Up there, there's such peace, such calm, such a sense of order and understanding of what's going on around you. It occurred to me that it is the same thing in my relationship with God. If I could just get up there with Him, and be able to look at my life from His perspective, above all the hustle and bustle; above the worries and uncertainties for the future; His peace will keep me.


It sure beats worrying about what's around the corner, or doing acrobatic jumps to skip all those potholes and patches in my path.
