John 4:35 "Lift up your eyes and see that the fields are ready for harvest". Have you noticed lately that more and more people are speaking the name of Jesus. We are living in exciting times!!! Follow the path to the Son and look for the "gold" along the way.
Psalm 121 reminds us to lift up our eyes to the hills from whence cometh our help. But it is not the earthly hills that David is taking about; it is the Maker of the hills, the Maker of Heaven and Earth about whom he is speaking. Every time I go up on the mountains, I am reminded of of this wisdom.
"My soul is full of longing for the secret of the sea, and the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me." Henry Wadsorth Longfellow. Secrets, mystery, longing, sunshine, salty smells, the sound of wind and waves,... only the Master Creator can capture. Oh, but what fun to try to imitate Him!
Ralph Waldo Emerson in talking about nature said, "the universe becomes transparent and the light of higher laws shines through it." I love this thought. This is what I want to show in my series "Going Home"
Going uphill requires more work than going down. Work, perserverance, committment, self doiscipline are required of anyone who wants to excell. However, no one can arrive at his goals without help from the Lord. " I will look to the hills, from whence comes my help". As the Son rises, he will help us to rise.
