Come On Up So My Glory Can Come Down

What do hot dog eating contests have to do with your spiritual life? More than you might think. When contestants gorge themselves on nutritionally deficient food, they mirror how many of us settle for spiritual fast food when God has prepared a heavenly feast.

Many of us live with "hot dog spirituality" – focusing our attention on immediate concerns, earthly problems, and temporary distractions. We've become so accustomed to this way of thinking that we don't realize there's something infinitely better available. The good news? God is actively working across nations to capture our attention and shift our focus from the temporal to the eternal.

For believers, we aren't just going to be seated with Christ in heavenly places someday – we are currently seated there (Ephesians 2:6). This isn't theological abstraction but an invitation to experiential reality. Our speech reveals where our true focus lies, as what we contemplate most flows from our mouths. Through the Holy Spirit's power, we can change direction, shifting from earthly preoccupations to heavenly perspectives.

Sometimes the most challenging transition isn't from bad to good, but from good to better. We're being invited to function as conduits of God's word, vessels through which heaven touches earth. Jesus didn't establish another religion; He came to transform us into His likeness and incorporate us into His body.
