I have a friend who always speaks of the Kingdom of Heaven as the Upside Down Kingdom, and I think of it often.
The king was murdered.
The persecuted are blessed.
The first shall be last.
The last shall be first.
Those who die live.
To give is to gain.
Humility is strength.
The Kingdom belongs to children.
The Kingdom is ruled by servants.
The persecuted are blessed.
The first shall be last.
The last shall be first.
Those who die live.
To give is to gain.
Humility is strength.

Our walk as a believer of Christ will never follow logic, value or priority as we are naturally inclined. The values of heaven appear as downgrades to our world of self sufficiency and material reward, but I pray for a steadfast spirit within us all to seek the ways and eternal treasures of Christ. Let us have uncompromised trust in letting Him continually reorder us. These unexpected values - this Upside Down Kingdom - is our rightful pursuit and scale of appraisal for every avenue of life. Let us trust the LORD - His character, His leadership, His values - with all of our hearts, and lean not on our own understanding.
