Growing up I went to church camp. The youth group would pile into the big church bus and wind its way up into the mountains for a weeklong or weekend getaway – a fun mix of teaching, worship, campfire songs, and shenanigans. I can't think of any time I didn’t experience a personal revival up there. There’s something transformational that happens up the mountain. It’s no wonder that God first met with His people at a mountain. From Noah’s landing on Ararat to Abraham's faithfulness at Mt. Moria...
Growing up I went to church camp. The youth group would pile into the big church bus and wind its way up into the mountains for a weeklong or weekend getaway – a fun mix of teaching, worship, campfire songs, and shenanigans. I can't think of any time I didn’t experience a personal revival up there. There’s something transformational that happens up the mountain. It’s no wonder that God first met with His people at a mountain. From Noah’s landing on Ararat to Abraham's faithfulness at Mt. Moriah and to Moses’ at Sinai we see how God fulfills, tests, and reveals – but each are reminders of being close to God. Mountains have been where people experience God, and they still are. Zion will be our ultimate Mountaintop experience...but here’s the thing...we don’t have to wait to go there! We have Zion now! We “have come to Mount Zion” the Word tells us. When we are in Christ we have angels partying, the cloud of witnesses cheering, and Jesus going before us as
our amazing mediator! The reality is we have the joy of that experience right now! Wow! No fear. No trembling. No worries...joy unspeakable and yet, joy we can’t help but speak!
