The higher up you go in altitude, the clearer the air. Once the air is clear your mind is free to perceive and think clearer.
The thing about going higher up the mountains is that the road become less accessible, the terrain gets more steep and difficultto climb, there are more obstacles in your way….
So to it is with life…. the higher you go in life, the more you press towards the mark of the high calling the steeper the climb becomes. The more rugged the terrain gets but the more beautiful the scenery becomes, the fruits are fresher, sweeter and in abundance bcus the soil higher up is more conducive to rearing crops, (the more you are fed spiritually), the more clearthe air becomes (it was on the Mount of Transfigurationthat God revealed His self to Moses)…the more grace God extends to you and in the process God builds your endurance.
The thing about grace is that you don’t necessarily see it while it is happening, just like an athlete doesn’t physically see their muscles growing as it is happening…. but over time you are able to measure that grace by looking back over your life and seeing the transformation between your past and your future…. that’s why its important to endure to keep going…
That’s how your spiritual muscle is built…
For athletes, muscle is built by adding more to their workout routine… you don’t grow by remaining stagnant or being comfortable.
My past was designed to reveal the grace and love of God, not just to me but to those I would come in contact with, those He would strategically place in my life for me to witness to.
