The Escalator of Life

so yeah i did a devo today for my church but last night i randomly thought up escalators and everything changed and that is what this devotion came from.....now i know half the people i tagged already dont want to read this.....please do dont worry you will like it if you do....if you dont.....well i guess i cant force you to...so yeah here it is


• Escalator Analogy- escalator is life…. The escalator is moving down towards hell
• People ride the escalator regularly because it is easy and it is what everyone else does
• We as Christians run up the escalator trying to reach the top(heaven)
• People will look at us like we are crazy, point at us and think we are idiots for doing this, some of us Christians will find this to be uncomfortable to go against the norm, some will turn around and go like everyone else is out of fear of being rejected but God calls us to keep on our path and run to him no matter what people think of us
• Running up an escalator that is going down is going to be a lot harder than just going down it. It will be a lot more painful and dangerous and at points we are going to feel like we are going nowhere at all. Sometimes you will become so tired that you just want to give up turn around and do it the easy way, just go down the escalator. God will always be there to pick you up when you get tired he will always hold out a hand for you to pick you up you just need to have the determination to keep going after him and keep giving it your all.
• There will be people who will tell you to quit running up the escalator and do things the “right” way because you look stupid. DON’T LISTEN TO THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are there to distract you from your goals and keep you away from God.
• There are people that will tell you to stop fooling around and tell you to go down the escalator. They are only there to cause you to fall away from God. They will say that running up is wrong and that going down like everyone else is the best way and the most fun. Don’t listen to them either
• Follow God listen to him and run up the escalator put your whole heart into it and you will find that you are having way more fun than those going down it even though you may trip and fall don’t let it discourage you just get up and keep running until you reach the top and join God in glory with the others that chose to run to him
