CLIMB A LITTLE HIGHER, SEE A LITTLE BETTER
“You see limitations; God sees opportunities. You see faults; God sees growth. You see problems; God sees solutions. You see limitations; God sees possibilities. You see life; God sees eternity.”
Psa 24:3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
Mount Mitchell, which is only a few miles from where I live, is the highest point East of the Mississippi River. I have have climbed to its summit quite a few times over the years. It is said that on a clear day, you can see seven states. I have never found it clear enough to view all that but I have always found it clear enough to see sites far beyond my normal point of view of 4,ooo feet below. It takes some intentional effort to climb to the Mountain’s peak, but the views always make it worth it!
There is a mountain, whose peak is the highest in the Universe. It is the place of God’s throne. There is no point of view like it! It is the place where the Lord sees it all. It is the Heavenly places where the Word of God declares us to be seated. (Eph. 2:6) Though in Christ, this is our lofty position, yet, we cannot enjoy the view unless we cleanse our hands and purify our hearts. Oh, but if we walk with Jesus, He will show us sites we have never seen. We shall recieve blessings that are out of this world! Dear reader, no pleasure of this present life, is worth keeping us from enjoying that seat with Him and the view that goes with it!
Friend, come up higher!
Every blessing!
