The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, [and all that fills it ] the world and those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.
Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully. He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Selah
-Psalm 24:1-6
The journey upward is often difficult and challenging...
...but the end is always worth it.
Even when the journey is rugged and the terrain is formidable...
...don't forget to look around and enjoy the view.
It may appear that you are traveling the course alone...
...but you'll find you have companions that the Lord provides.
Though surrounded by a raging torrent, He will provide dry land for you to stand on...
...gentle arms to comfort...
...and will carry you when you think you haven't the strength to carry on.
For it's all His; you are His; and He is faithful to form the clean hands and the pure hearts that will ascend unto Him. All Glory to our God!
