GOD LOOKS FOR PURE HEARTS, NO. 8 - MOUNTAINS ARE NOT EASY TO CLIMB
There are men who love mountains and yet never give a thought for God. Some love to view mountains from a distance. I must admit I enjoying doing this; it does my heart good.
Climbing mountains is another thing for it has many challenges, dangers, and risks. Climbing mountains puts one in intimate touch with all that the mountain represents. If viewing from a distance stirs the heart of man, how much more is the heart affected and awed when actually facing giant precipices, dangerous crevices, and awe-inspiring waterfalls as they cascade down from dizzying heights. The challenge of climbing to the summit is what really fires up the blood of mountain climbers.
Psalm 24:3 asks the question: "Who shall ascend into the hill (mountain) of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?"
Although it's wonderful to view THE MOUNTAIN ONF THE LORD with all its grandeur, we must step by step climb the mountain and experience all that it has to offer. As fathers, we must encourage our wives and children in all the blessings God's mountain provides.
