"The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: You have dwelt long enough at this mountain."
Deuteronomy 1:6

If God allowed us to live on the 'mountaintop', we would not experience trials, but neither would we achieve any victories. At times God will graciously provide you a mountaintop experience. You may wish you could spend the rest of your life there...but remember, these mountaintop encounters are God's way of preparing you for the battles that await you.

It's a week to exams, but certain things have happened and somehow i find myself on the mountaintop. Everything seems to be going so blessedly well that i cant even believe it myself - and i thank God every day. But He warns us that the mountaintop is great place to be in, but a very difficult place to leave behind. Being on the mountaintop may also tempt us to stray and take His blessing for granted.

Maybe i should just tread the thin line and take the fall graciously when i have to. It'll hurt, i guess.

It takes great sin
To magnify the powers of love
It takes great pain
To sharpen the sword of resilience
It takes great suffering
To appreciate blessing
It takes a weakness
To see God's strength.

Irony heh? Well, it is true.
