Put on your hiking boots

Put on your hiking boots

Psalm 43:3

Send out your light [God’s presence in the time of darkness and trouble]

and send forth your truth [God’s certainty in the middle of distrust and disillusionment],

Let them [God’s presence and certainty] guide me;

Let them [God’s presence and certainty] BRING ME TO YOUR HOLY MOUNTAIN, [the place of worship to God]

and to Your tabernacles. [the place where God abides]

Pray the Word:

Lord, it’s beautiful to see how David's longing to be away from the oppression of life always led him to want more intensely for communion with You – realizing no mere moral or physical truths could take him to that ultimate refuge  .  .  which is the place of Your presence and the certainty of Your faithfulness and mercy to us! We really don’t want You to come to our valley (it’s too depressing here) - we’re going to PUT ON OUR HIKING BOOTS and COME UP TO YOUR HOLY MOUNTAIN!
