JUNE 6TH
Text: Isaiah 40:28-31 King James Version (KJV)
28. Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
All through the scripture, the mountain top has always been a place of divine encounter and elevation, but the valley seem to represent the opposite. This is one reason why there are not many significant supernatural manifestations in the valley. Our God want us to be mountain-top Christians. He wants us to soar with wings like the eagle as we reign with Him on high.
In the valley the flesh is amplified but on the mountain God is glorified. You can only hear from Him on the mountain top, because on the mountain top, the flesh is crucified. It is amazing that some of us Christians who God wants to take to higher levels are spending time visiting the world in the valley.
Getting to the mountain top is by choice. A choice many of us are not willing to make, because it is a difficult one. As you climb, your bones and muscles begin to ache but those who desire greater result will not be discouraged.
When it is time for the eagle to renew its strength, it leaves the valley and head for the mountain-top. The eagle will begin to go through a painful process of transformation. This is when the eagle is most vulnerable and this is the reason it does not stay in the valley. There is a lesson for us here. May you not be found in the valley in your most vulnerable moments.
When the eagle is going through this stage of its life, it is in complete isolation from others, but once the process is complete, everything about the eagle becomes sharper and stronger than before that experience. Once it is over, from the mountain top it will soar with new strength to live a victorious life.
If you can make it to the mountain top, you will make it to your moment of glory. Refuse to dine in the valley with other dirty birds like the vulture. Make your way to the mountain top, where the eagle dwell and you will begin to dwell on high. This is the reason why the Bible tells us that "they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles". God has something glorious for you. Don’t settle for less.
