Down The Up Staircase
April 26, 2014
Read: 2 Chronicles 12:1-8
The video starts with a puppy at the top of the stairs afraid to go down. Despite much encouragement from people cheering at the bottom, Daisy cant figure it out. She wants so badly to join them, but fear keeps her pacing the landing. Then a bigger dog comes to help. Simon runs up the steps and then back down, showing Daisy how easy it is. Daisy is not convinced. Simon tries again. This time more slowly. Then he watches Daisy try again. But Daisy still is too scared. Once again Simon goes to the top and demonstrates the technique. Finally Daisy dares to let her back legs follow the front ones. Simon stays beside her. She makes it. Everyone celebrates!
What a beautiful picture of discipleship. We spend much of our time trying to teach others to climb up, but the more important, and more difficult, thing to learn is how to go down. Throughout Scripture we read that God desires humility of us. Because the people of Judah humbled themselves, the Lord said, Therefore I will not destroy them (2 Chron. 12:7).
On numerous occasions, God demonstrated humility by coming down (Ex. 3:7-8; 19:10-12; Micah 1:3). Finally God sent Jesus, who spent His life teaching the technique we are to follow (Phil. 2:5-11).
More like the Master I would ever be,
More of His meekness, more humility;
More zeal to labor, more courage to be true,
More consecration for work He bids me do. Gabriel
No one will learn anything at all unless he first learns humility.
The Scriptures reveal how God responds to the humble heart. When King Rehoboam humbled himself, God responded by providing deliverance (v.7). In 2 Chronicles 1, King Solomon was given an invitation to ask God for anything he desired but requested only wisdom to rule his people. Because of his humble request, God chose to give him the additional blessings of wealth and honor (vv.6-12).

ROCKUMENTARY: APRIL 26, 1972Where were you? I was a second lieutenant filling a captains slot with a signal battalion at Fort Lewis, WA. Tom Lehrer once said that the Army does not discriminate on the grounds of race, religion or ability, but he was wrong about that last one. I was a talented staff officer, and I got a chance to show my chops. I ended up being cited by the Deputy Commanding General of Fort Lewis for having the best motor pool on base.
So what were you up to?
Cue the Rockumentary theme!
San Remo Golden Strings: Festival Time
This band was Motowns Funk Brothers backed with pickup musicians from the Detroit Symphony.
#10 Al Green: Look What You Done for MeMy only complaint with the Rev. Al was that his songs all sounded the same.
