Mountaintop experiences are amazing! But they're not why we are here. I know a lot of people that think Christianity is all about mountaintop experiences. Moving from one to another. Mountaintop experiences are amazing and rewarding but our faith plays out in the valleys and trenches.
Look at Christ's example....rejected, spit on, beaten. Doesn't sound like a mountaintop.
Think back to the transfiguration, Peter wanted to put up three shelters and hang out there on the mountaintop. And i mean who wouldn't..hanging out with Jesus, Moses and Elijah?
But Peter's question was answered in action. They left the mountain to continue their work.
We are not here for mountaintops...we are here for the valleys. We have our reward on the other side. This side we work for the King. Matthew 28:19-20. "Go" is the word. "Go" and make disciples. "Go" into the valleys. "Go" to all nations. Let's enjoy the mountaintops we get to experience but let's not live there. Let's get our work done so we can "go" hear "Well done good and faithful servant". Enjoy your day and remember the valley you walk through today means God's not finished with you yet.
Make it a great one!
