The weight of this world is large. The physical struggles, the emotional depression... greed, corruption, violence, anger, frustration, this list goes on. Humans are corrupt and corruptible. Their actions are selfish. If we take it all in, it will consume us, and fill our spirit with weight, heavy as rocks, holding us close to the dirt.
Weight, gravity, is a characteristic of this Earth.
When the writers say that the goodness of God is not of this world, I believe it. It has the power to defy gravity and lift us out of the heavy dung-hill that we create... that holds us down. I must then tap into that goodness, and fight to not fall prey to the pulling effect of the world.
