Exodus
19:20 - (ESV) – “ The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to
the top of the mountain. And the Lord called
Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.”
Wednesdays have been marked as “Hump
Day” among the Monday through Friday work group who mark the day as the
mid-point of the struggle to get to the fun and relaxation of the weekend. “Hump Day” has many images from friendly
talking camels to mountaineers scampering up the side of a tortuously steep
hill. Whatever image pops into mind one
thing we must never overlook is that while the mountain may have its
challenges; guess who dwells in the midst of the mountain. God is ubiquitous and is everywhere at the
same time; but as the scripture reveals God ‘goes’ and ‘comes’ in his spirit to
places where we can interact with him on a personal level. Jesus wrapped himself in human flesh and
dwelt among us on Earth; the Holy Spirit encapsulates himself into our being to
dwell within us.
So the next time you struggle with having
to do ‘hard’ things or ‘frustrating’ tasks that seem to just be like pushing a
boulder uphill; keep in mind who is waiting for you at the summit; cheering for
you all along the way; giving you strength to endure; guiding and encouraging
your every step and keeping the predators at bay. Keep focused on the uphill climb for you are
elevating yourself above the mush and mire below to Go On Up Higher.
Every day is
a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day! Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
