Ascend the Mountain and Look

 

  Go up the mountain, and the things in the plain will look very small; the higher you rise the more insignificant they will seem. Hold fellowship with God, and the threatening foes here will seem very, very unformidable. Another way is, pull of the curtain and gaze on what is behind it. …So the world’s hindrances and the world’s difficulties look very lofty till the cloud lifts. But when we see the great white summits, everything lower does not seem so very high after all. Look to Jesus, and that will dwarf the difficulties. –Alex. McLaren
