PRAYER UP AND AT THE FOOT OF THE THRONE!
“Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord.”
- Isaiah 2:3
It is exceedingly beneficial to our souls to mount above this present evil
world to something nobler and better. The cares of this world and the
deceitfulness of riches are apt to choke everything good within us, and we
grow fretful, desponding, perhaps proud and carnal. It is well for us to
cut down these thorns and briers, for heavenly seed sown among them is not
likely to yield a harvest; and where shall we find a better sickle with
which to cut them down than communion with God and the things of the
kingdom? In the valleys of Switzerland many of the inhabitants are
deformed, and all wear a sickly appearance, for the atmosphere is charged
with miasma, and is close and stagnant; but up yonder, on the mountain,
you find a hardy race, who breathe the clear fresh air as it blows from
the virgin snows of the Alpine summits. It would be well if the dwellers
in the valley could frequently leave their abodes among the marshes and
the fever mists, and inhale the bracing element upon the hills. It is to
such an exploit of climbing that I invite you this evening. May the Spirit
of God assist us to leave the mists of fear and the fevers of anxiety, and
all the ills which gather in this valley of earth, and to ascend the
mountains of anticipated joy and blessedness.
May God the Holy Spirit cut the cords that keep us here below, and assist
us to mount! We sit too often like chained eagles fastened to the rock,
only that, unlike the eagle, we begin to love our chain, and would,
perhaps, if it came really to the test, be loath to have it snapped.
May God now grant us grace, if we cannot escape from the chain as to our
flesh, yet to do so as to our spirits; and leaving the body, like a
servant, at the foot of the hill, may our soul, like Abraham, attain the
top of the mountain, there to indulge in communion with the Most High.
