mountaintop. can you come down?

"While ye have light, believe in the light." 

John 12:36

"We all have moments, when we feel better than our best, and we say, 'I feel fit for anything; if only I could be like this always!'

We are not meant to be. 

Those moments are moments of insight which we have to live up to when we don't feel like it. Many of us are not good for this workday world when there is no high hour. We must bring our commonplace life up to the standard revealed in the high hour. 

Never allow a feeling which was stirred in you in the high hour to evaporate. Don't put your mental feet on the mantelpiece and say, 'What a marvelous state of mind to be in!' Act immediately, do something... if only because you would rather not do it. If in a prayer meeting God has shown you something to do, don't say, 'I'll do it"... Do it! Take yourself by the scruff of the neck and shake off your incarnate laziness. Laziness is always seen in cravings for the high hour; we talk about working up a time on the mount. We have to learn to live in the grey day accruing to what we saw on the mount. 

Don't cave in because you have been baffled once, get at it again. Burn your bridges behind you, and stand committed to God by your own act. Never revise your decisions, but see that you make your decisions in the Light of the high hour." 

Oswald Chambers

My Utmost for His Highest

The valley low that's where we'll make our homes

But this I know that's what He saved us from

Cause we've seen the glory of our King

On the mountaintop

We've been to the mountaintop

We've seen the glory of our God

He is here in the valley low

He's here I feel it in my bones

Our God here and now

We are the body of our God

Oh I've done bad, what happens to me now

I know for sure that we've been changed somehow

And we'll be the glory of our King

In His kingdom come

We've been to the mountaintop 

We've seen the glory of our God

He is here in the valley low 

He's here I feel it in my bones

Our God here and now

We are the body of our God

We build our temples

We build our walls

But they can't hold Him in

We are the temple of our God

But we can't hold Him in

We've been to the mountaintop

We've seen the glory of our God

He is here in the valley low

He is here I feel it in my bones

Our God here and now

We are the body of our God
