Have you ever drove with someone who is directionally challenged? When you know the way to go, it is hard to remain quiet, when someone you are with is going the wrong direction. In our culture of tolerance that has made us easily offended, we are afraid to share with people, that they are looking or going the wrong direction. There is a joke with spouses that a “man” won’t stop and ask for directions. Is it true, for some yes, for others no. But it is a stereotype in my culture. Thank God for technology, for phones, for Waze and Google Maps. Remember when we used to have an atlas in the backseat with all the roads we were to take? I wonder if that is where the phrase back seat driver came from? Anyway, just some fun memories about driving and needing direction.

I was praying Psalm 133 this morning and the Holy Spirit highlighted to me that the preachers have made people directionally challenged. Now preachers can be books we have read, movies we have seen, or sermons we have heard. The church is directionally challenged and we don’t want to stop and ask for directions, though in many ways we are lost. We have been told, taught, we are getting raptured out of here, that the darkness is getting darker and we keep looking up in order to leave this world that is so corrupt. But the Bible is very clear we are not going anywhere, rather God is sending something down to help us.

Psalm 133 says, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, Coming down upon the beard, Even Aaron’s beard, Coming down upon the edge of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon Coming down upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing—life forever.”

Friends, we are not going up, oil is coming down! God commanded the blessing, life forever, life came down in the form of Jesus Christ. Healing is coming down with the oil. Joy is coming down with the oil. Mercy is coming down with the oil. Strategy is coming down in the oil. It is coming down, we are not going up in a rapture. We need to stop or get out of here thinking and realize help is coming down so we can be a blessing, we can release life, we can distribute finances, we can speak healing. It is all coming down. It is time to stop and ask for directions, for we are not going up, it has and is coming down. Now that is some good news!!!!!
