To Stay on the Mountain

July 3, 2017

I felt incredible closeness with you yesterday, Lord. The awareness and tenderness I long for every day was tangible. I’m Peter begging to build a shelter and stay on the mountain with you. Urge me Holy Spirit over and over to press into Christ all day long. I’m desperate to maintain that level of sensitivity, even as I know it’s not the way of everyday life in the valley.

Books to read. Children to raise. Work to do. VBS to plan. Before I plunge into this day, help my mind consider these things the way you do. Where do YOU want me to spend my time and energy? Let whatever is of greatest importance to you be of greatest importance to me. I pray for wisdom, which I know you will freely give.
