Seize the Moment – Day 833
Mountain Top Experiences!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Tuesday, June 28.
Have you ever had a mountain top experience? This is an experience where you encounter the power of God; it is a moment of clarity and exaltation. Elijah experienced the mountain top, literally and spiritually, on Mount Carmel, where he defeated 850 pagan prophets for the glory of God and the devotion of His people.
The purpose of mountain top experiences is to return us to a life of wholehearted devotion to the one true God. God grants them for His glory and our good, but we can’t be dependent on them for our daily walk with Jesus. No one is intended to live on the mountain top itself, but the mountain top experience is intended to embolden how you live. This was true of Jesus, who even after His Transfiguration, which happened on a high mountain, even He, just like Elijah, had to come down and face the reality of everyday life (Matthew 17).
Seize the moment and live with a wholehearted devotion to Jesus today by remembering the clarity and exaltation of your mountain top experiences.
