In this teaching, we hear the call to remember God by having a posture of humility and hunger for the Lord
When I was a kid, about seven or eight years old, I remember going to a doctor and finding out that I had this very minor case of a disease called scoliosis, which is like curvature of the spine.
And the way they picked it up wasn't kind of by getting a ruler out and like holding it against my back.
Like I had shoulders that were a bit misbalanced and the way that I walked and that sort of thing, and I'd slouch sometimes.
And I began to get exercises to kind of work on it and a whole bunch of things to try and work on the posture that I was walking around with.
And I remember as I was doing these exercises and then beginning to kind of consciously stand in a different way that I could feel the effects that it was having on the rest of my body.
Kind of had this ripple effect because I was able to get more breath into my lungs and It was breathing better.
It meant that I was digesting food better.
It meant I had less headaches.
It even impacted the mood that I had as I was going through normal life.
To be honest, none of that was kind of the thing that sold me on it.
The thing that I was really excited about was that they said to me, you know what, it might even help you grow even more.
Clearly didn't work out that well.
Some of the other stuff helped, I think, but that one didn't pan out the way that I'd planned.
We know, though, that our posture matters, doesn't it? The way that we stand, it matters.
It has a ripple effect on the rest of our body.
And we can often even tell when we look at someone's posture what that says about how they feel about a certain situation or a certain person or how they're showing up in a certain space.
It's an indicator, often, of something deeper, something underlying.
It shapes how we show up at church, how we love our friends and our family, how we view and use our money, our careers, our homes, and all of our lives.
