“I call heaven and earth to witness against you.” This very interesting phrase caught my attention recently, so I started searching it out in God’s Word.
Deu 4:26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you will soon utterly perish from the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess; you will not prolong your days in it, but will be utterly destroyed.

Gen 14:19 And he blessed him and said: “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth;
Gen 14:22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the LORD, God Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth,
Conclusion
What I learned wasn’t really anything new, but it is so much more powerful to see it spelled out in God’s own Words. Being ‘real’ and truthful with ourselves and God is a very important decision we need to make on a daily basis.
Keeping it real,
