"...they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also."
-Acts 17:6-
Turning the world upside down looks like choosing to follow and serve Jesus in the daily mundane when the world says to follow your heart and serve yourself.
People are rarely comfortable when making the biggest, most effective difference...
Please the Lord, even when it's uncomfortable...
Deny yourself, even when it's less convenient...
Trust His promises over your feelings, even- especially- when you are overwhelmed and your feelings are louder...discipline your mind...
Speak up (with the truth), even when it's sure to invite criticism...
Be still and watch God work, when the culture tells you to do it all on your own...
Lovingly, deliberately, faithfully choose "less of me, more of Him", and watch your surroundings and circumstances turn upside down as you reap His blessings in place of the world's crutches.
