Let Us Go Up To The Mountain

~As late as Thursday evening, I wasn't sure I leaving on Friday for a mens camping weekend in the mountains that had been planned for months. The forecast off and on all week called for rain. Finally, we concluded that we'd go at least for Friday evening. (And in my mind, I was coming home Saturday morning for sure. It was going to rain and I wasn't sleeping in a tent, in the cold, in the rain more than once.) So the email went out, "we're going!" Immediately I got a phone call - "I'm coming," said the voice on the other end. "I need this so bad. I just need to sit outside, around a campfire, and smell like smoke for a while." Of course! This guy needs this, even if it's just the two of us. (I needed it too!) A hand full of us arrived there on top of the mountain that Friday afternoon, tired, hungry, and needing to hear from God. And did He ever show up! We had church there on that mountain top, by the camp fire, for almost eight hours. It was cold. The wind was fierce. And it didn't matter. We listened to music. We broke bread. We prayed. We spoke truth to each other. And we let God minister to our hearts. We had healing. We had revelation. And we had tears of joy.

God had called us to that mountain to minister to each of us in His own way, in the way that we needed it. Isaiah called the mountain the house of God. "Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, And we will walk in His paths." (Isaiah 2:3) I love that. Jesus consistently went to the mountains to commune with His Father. Why shouldn't we? It's one of the few places where we haven't tried to put God in a box.~

When is the last time you got alone with God in the mountains? If you don't live near a mountain, how about a forest at least, or a quiet field?
