Having our head in the clouds isn’t always seen as positive.
What does it mean, really, to have our head in the clouds? It means we see only what we want to see. A new boyfriend? His charm is all we take in. That new car, the aroma of supple leather overshadows thoughts of making the payments. We want the birds to sing happy songs, to believe in the best in other people, and for the fairy tale to always have a happy ending. What’s wrong with that? And why does it carry a negative connotation? Surely clouds are beautiful. They are depicted as the abode of angels. Who wouldn’t want to have his head in a cloud?
It’s a matter of where we place our feet.
We can have our happily ever after, if we follow the precepts in God’s Word. Psalm 74:20 encourages us:
“Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitation of cruelty.”
The covenant is the promise referred to by Christ in the Lord’s Prayer. Our Savior cried unto the Father, “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”
The will of the Father is for his creation to live above the cruelty and violence of our carnal beginnings. We lift ourselves above our natural man by respecting God’s covenant, by studying God’s instruction manual, his Word, and modeling our lives after his example as seen through the teachings of Christ.
We want to see the best in others, to listen to happy songs, and to trust in the Father that our time on this earth will culminate in a happy ending. That’s the kingdom of God in a nutshell, God’s glory flowing across the land, his masterful plan for humanity delivered through our faith and trust in him. As long as our feet stand on our faith in the Christ who died for us and on the cross that provided our redemption, we can lift our heads to the heavens and never worry about what we cannot see.
Head in the clouds? Absolutely! That’s where we want to be, in a place where all we can see is Jesus and his enveloping love for humankind.
