When the Spirit Knows What We Need
This morning, Christy and I are walking through some disappointment. Plans didn’t unfold the way we hoped. Expectations met reality. And in moments like that, it’s easy to lower your head and let discouragement set the tone for the day.
That’s why Luke 21:28 felt especially personal this morning in my reading:
“Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
Jesus spoke those words in unsettling times. Instead of telling His followers to panic or withdraw, He spoke about posture.
“Straighten up.”
“Raise your heads.”
When things feel unstable or simply disappointing, our instinct is to hunch over in discouragement. But Jesus calls us to stand differently, to live with expectancy instead of anxiety.
Redemption is not just something we look back on at the cross. It is something we look forward to in fullness. There is a day coming when everything fractured will be made whole.
So today, we lift our heads not because everything is resolved, but because our Redeemer is near.
