Who climbs 6468 flights of stairs in a day? 16 stairs=1 flight 6468 x 16 is equivalent to 7.2 miles of stairs?
Somewhere in my day my watch glitched and unknowingly a 6 flight of stairs day turned into 6468? That’s superhero power – equivalent to the upper airspace of commercial planes. While I don’t see as many planes overhead these days, I’m certainly not sharing their flight paths either. I do glance at my watch, phone and media to get updates. Checking-in is what I do to see what’s going on in my gravity held atmosphere. Some days those check-ins are absurd, misleading and forecasted as preposterous! What if that’s the extent of what I had to go on was misleading information?
I would believe things about myself, others and the world that clog my senses.
What does a healthy check-in look like?
Normally, it begins with a morning whisper to rise and start a new day. I may glance in the mirror to recognize it’s still me, a little older, hopefully wiser. From there my biggest direction monitor is God’s imprint. I find this in his word. I also find it in nature. I open my Bible and somewhere in the quiet stillness, it awakens me. Nature has a way of finding itself in God’s word. I find it daily. Whether it be in sky, animal or garden variety. Those tools become the balance for me. I’m not overrun by the glitch-given world I encounter. I have what I need to stay on course. I have something to remind myself this isn’t real or trustworthy. I have the exercise routine to go to that keeps my mind fit and ready for what’s ahead. Given the amount of interference that tries to snag us, God has a way that frees us.
“For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.”
Romans 1:20 WEB
“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.”
2 Peter 1:3-4 NIV
